This is the classic "up to" scenario. It's anything up to 50% so that's anything from zero to 50%. The 50% being a theoretical maximum which will never, ever be reached outside of ideal testing conditions or equations on a blackboard.

The proof of the pudding is in the real world application and that was ~5%. That's what you can expect to see from this. And that's why people aren't leaping on it immediately to make their games run faster which answers your question about availability.

Right so you're so clever that you can go around calling people dumb without even justifying why.

Don't you DARE go calling me a moron unless you can back that up with a justification and an explanation as to why what I've said is wrong. I'm more than happy to be corrected but to go around insulting people like some arrogant smart arse is just... well... arrogant.

Now, tell me WHY I'm wrong or apologise.
