Hi,
I'm just tinkering with the latest beta of WinUAE 2.0.0 Beta 25 (RC3) and the excellent HighGFX monitor driver.
It works amazingly well and I can get a fantastically functional 1024x768x256 colour Workbench using the ClassicWB package...
I have a fairly modest PC (P4 3.0GHz) and it fairly blazes along. I'm currently emulating an A1200 and I get a sysinfo speed of 354MIPS and 376MFLOPS...
Let's see a real Amiga do that! :-)
Gawd, I love WinUAE...
Cheers,
Mike.

Interesting that the setup works, but I found AmiKit's setup to be even more impressive, with the RTG emulation at high resolution.
I see your point, though, with the WinUAE/HighGFX performance versus HighGFX performance on a real AGA machine.
-
I find it odd that anyone using WinUAE's emulation would use the HighGFX driver instead of RTG, such as that used by Amikit?
-
True, but I also find it odd that anyone would bother trying to do anything with an Amiga (emulated, or real) these days! :-)
-
WinUAE does rock!

Whilst it's interesting, surely you are far better off to run a 1024x768x32 bit RTG emulated workbench. Not having to emulate the native display will free up many more CPU cycles for the JIT.

What's HighGFX?
I use the WinUAE RTG driver in WinUAE and am pretty happy with that.

HighGFX is a monitordriver for ECS/AGA-screenmodes up to 1024x768.
