    Vertical strips of pixels as opposed to full textures applied over polys?

    Back when developers would still attempt to really push the hardware and design with an eye towards hardware that was on the horizon. Almost non-existent nowadays where almost all developers (still the rare exception on PC) just develop to an existing hardware target.

    I still very fondly remember that game. Got it at launch and almost played through it in one sitting...in the dark...

    it's still fun nowadays -even with that fake HDR-, at 1440p - 4k and 165fps, gosh. The campaign got me hooked til I completed it.

    On a different note, Mass Effect 3 is an odd beast. I've been playing ME 2 on EA Access (Origin, love it), or other games that I had back in the day like Dead Space 1-3, etc, and those games run at a perfect 165fps (1440p).

    So does Mass Effect 3, but sometimes the game gets stuck at 80-90fps for a couple of seconds -everything maxed out-. Thing is..., it's not a CPU or GPU issue, 'cos both run the game very comfortably at low temps and low usage -no fans spinning at all-, and I wonder why that happens.

    I use this trick to play all ME games at 165fps.
