Hi,

it's generally best to avoid HWSURFACE, since on many platforms it is not worth it or just falls back to software.

If you blit to a separate image, then it to the screen, I think you
aren't taking advantage of the HWSURFACE flag. If somebody else could
confirm this is correct, please do.

To set a surface to have the HWSURFACE flag, you need to create the
surface with it:

image = pygame.Surface((1920,1080), pygame.HWSURFACE)

then just blit it as normal.



I hope this answers your questions,
