-
- No, with DirectDraw you can do proper double, tripple or whatever
- buffering with ease, at 640x480 or higher resolution (depending on how
- much ram your video card has) at very high speed. A very simple example
- supplied with DirectDraw (an asteroids type game) runs at 640x480 full
- screen at up to 80 frames per second, fully buffered, and my video card,
- although new, is certainly not a top of the range model.
