It looks like I was running BB at 2160 without realizing. I normally run it at 1080. Some themes do appear to be quite slow still but others are fine so it's not a BB issue.

Is anything being done about the performance of BigBox? It seems that since the switch to .NET core, performance has completely tanked. It now feels like a stuttery, laggy mess rather than the slick, smooth, frontend experience that I saw when I bought LaunchBox back in version 9.X. I've been playing around with a clean install and I've noticed that some themes like City Hunter 2 feel like they're running on a low-end GPU when they're actually on a high-end GPU. The built-in themes run much better but loading videos is still stuttery compared to old versions of BigBox.

Sorry to resurrect this thread but I tried this out and it makes a big improvement to MAME authenticity. I own a couple of real arcade machines and when I compare MAME with Port Audio, G-SYNC and HLSL scanlines, it's unbelievably close to the real thing. It makes you completely forget that you're playing an emulator. Port Audio removes audio lag, G-SYNC removes input lag and tearing and HLSL recreates the visual look. I can't wait for big screen TVs to arrive that support variable refresh rate so that I can have this experience in the lounge room. It's so good that I'm pushing to have DOSBOX support a low latency audio mode.
