Yamauchi: Gran Turismo 5 Uses 80 Percent of PS3 Processing Power

Speaking in a recent interview with VentureBeat, Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi revealed that Polyphony Digital’s crack team of engineers have managed to squeeze out 80 percent of the available processing power in PS3 with GT5.
While it’s hard to say how such a figure is quantified as many factors determine resource usage, we’re under the assumption he is measuring average SPU and GPU load. Either way, with the sheer amount of near photo-realistic cars on screen and detailed environments there is little doubt that this title is taxing the PS3.
Yamauchi further noted that “PS3 hardware has a very high peak performance. The better you manipulate it, the better it performs.”
