Forums - Sony - To the Doubters: UC2 and UC3 run exclusively on the Cell ><

Reasonable said:
Do they use the SPUs arguably better than anyone (except maybe GG) - probably. But nothing I heard made me think they don't use the GPU too. TBH it would seem crazy not to. Whatever they put on Cell why not use the GPU as well - it still offers additional resources?

My understanding was they push a ton of additional computing (physics, animation, etc.) and a lot of additional graphics calculations through the Cell (thereby using it properly unlike a few games I could mention) and then push the final image plus some other visual elements through the GPU to produce the final on-screen render.

I'm curious about this and will have to hunt around for some other articles to see what I can find.

As JOKA_ said it's explained at 3:13 - 3:30 in the OP video.
