HI.

I generally use DOSBox with OpenGL output (and bilinear filtering) and it rocks. Anyway, my question: What output mode is fastest? (obviously i know doing Bilinear filtering is slower than not doing it at all, but i rather mean if there is some hardware support here (via drivers). Is there great differences among them or not? Thanks.

I've got a GF4 Ti4200 using Dets. 44.03 under WinXP
I am not using any scaler -> scaler=none in config.

In windows with an nvidia geforce * card, opengl is probably fastest, then would come overlays and then normal surfaces, although there seems to be issue with surfaces taking up too much time at times, still have to check that out sometime. Since it shouldn't be that much slower.
