GT5 Kazunori Yamauchi - GT5 only uses 80 percent of the PS3's power

[Kevin Watts]

VG247 has a quote from Polyphony's Kazunori Yamauchi saying that GT5 will only use around 80 percent of the PS3's processing power. How much of this is true but its certainly the reverse of the usual claims made by console developers that they are using 100% of the system's power.

Well if he's being honest it's pretty amazing to think of what could be achieved if they were to utilise 100% of it!

I do wonder though, is it only using 80% meaning that we will see a little slow down/tearing during replays etc. or does it mean that they have found that the game is more stable staying away from trying to use the machine at full chat?
