Forums - Gaming - Killzone 2 only using 60% of SPU's overall power

Speaking in IGN's latest Play Beyond podcast, Jeff Haynes revealed that even during the heaviest loads, Killzone 2 utilizes roughly only 60 per cent of the SPU's.

"It's incredible to see huge levels and see the deferred rendering and note that on all the SPU’s, even on the heaviest load were coming up to about 60%," Haynes said. "They weren't coming close to maxing out. .They had about 40% of space before they started tripping or saw slow down on some of the processes."

Furthermore, Haynes noted that the preview codes recently distributed to various media outlets were of an alpha build of the title, and have since been polished up . Visiting Guerilla Games in Amsterdam, Haynes was shown an updated version of the game, mid to late beta, noting that elements such as lighting, cut scenes, glitches, load times, have all been optimized.

I don't know what would a game be like if it used 100%.They already have beaten Crysis in terms of graphics.Many people say that PS3 is not so powerful,still their game KILLZONE 2 has the best graphics and performance.I think then not so powerful machines have the best graphics.

So, there's no excuse for it not running at a locked 60fps then.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

Butthurt xbots crack me up. Go back to playing Halo at 600i.



See Zenfolder's sig.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

So games start slowing down and "tripping" when using only 60% of the SPU's overall power??

hmm.. ok

sorry scottishduck but i reported you...



I don't know to lulz more at the 60% figure or the OP's comment that Killzone is more graphically impressive than Crysis.

What a weak post.  You're only using 57% of your rocketpig power.
