</div>I don't care about "fast" if it can't make any guarantees about what the user gets in the end. Games might try and set the "as fast as possible" mode and end up with something completely unplayable, because we center their 320x480 Space Cadet Pinball window right in the smack dab middle, and the user loses.<br>

I asked about that before and never got any response. It would seem to me that scaling by an integer is not only sharper but may be faster on some hardware.<br>
<br>
Conversely it seems doubtful any client really wants their fullscreen app to be scaled 1:1 and in a box in the middle, unless this is just the only way to get it fast. And this one is easily done by using a subwindow and it is hard to imagine any hardware acceleration that solution would bypass.<br>
<br>
So it seems like the options should be "as large as possible" and "as fast as possible". The fast one may do something like "the largest integer scale that fits on the screen". Or if scaling fast is impossible it will do 1:1 centered.<div class="HOEnZb">
