Brand new PC, can't get 100% speed with DirectDraw.

I've recently put together a considerably powerful new PC, and now I can't run MAME like I could on my 11 year old XP system...

I cannot stand bilinear filtering or non-even pixel sizes, so I only use mame in DirectDraw mode, I've tried all the video option combinations that I know and some game engines run with erratic, slow framerates and jittery sound. CPS2, Neo-Geo & Sega System 16 being prime examples, while others such as Cave's run just fine.

I can use Direct3D and get perfect speed, but as far as I can tell there seems to be now way to get perfectly scaled, unfiltered pixels in D3D mode. Am I missing something?

I've tried the latest Vanilla MAME64 and MAMEUI64 and I'm currently using a 60hz CRT at 1280x1024 on an i7 4790K, with 16gb RAM, MSI Z97 Gaming7 Mobo, Radeon R9 290X card and Windows 7 Ultimate.

Can anyone please help?
