Calling all CRT hipsterfags:

Better advise on this topic can be found in CRT general on

I got it for free and it was better than my current monitor, why wouldn’t I be using it?
Mine only carries an analog signal over its single VGA output. Besides, I’m pretty sure VGA only carries an analog signal.

Noted, thanks.
Didn’t know about that, thank you for letting me know.

>I got it for free and it was better than my current monitor, why wouldn’t I be using it?
nah nah, I own a CRT too and love it, much better than most LCDs.
Problem is that if your GPU doesn't have a native VGA port you're probably a gamer kid or suffer from upgraditis.

gpu compatibility will become a legitimate problem in just a few years. for now a 980 ti can play any game at high settings, but soon something 1080-class will become the low bar when the ps5 comes out. at some point there will be no modern gpus with vga anymore, so those who want to use older equipment with new software will have to use some kind of low latency gpu passthrough with old, or eventually, botique ramdac-enabled gpus.

Displayport is designed to be convertible to VGA.

Correct, I played pc games a lot when I first bought my gaming gpu, but then I got tired of it. I still want a dedicated gpu for photoshop and premiere, though.

Also, yeah, I noticed that AMD and Nvidia killed analog support a few years ago. I tried to find some gpu passthrough software earlier, but no dice. It’s such a shame, I think it’s being killed due to analog not supporting DRM bullshit. Shit ruins everything.

Huh. Isn’t DisplayPort digital only, though? How’s performance?

I don't know if it is on older versions of windows, but there is something on win10 which allows you to render on one gpu and display on another. i think it is only enabled for laptops unless you do some config fuckery but the latency and performance is apparently decent. nvidia's 'render opgenl on gpu' option is not so good, at least not on win7, since it only works on gl, is noticeably laggy, performance drops 50% and so on

yes, you need an asic to do the conversion. i have one of the dongles, and it has good image quality but noticeable latency. i would guess like 1/8th of a second.

they mostly reside on /vr/

>i would guess like 1/8th of a second.
That's atrocious.

Yeah it is, thats like having 125 ping always, on top of your actual ping.

God nu-Jow Forums is fucking retarded

Are CRT users literally deaf?
Whenever I'm close to tube TV I either turn it off or evacuate because that 15,625 Hz freq noise is ripping through my brain.
Hell, sometimes when I'm watching old rips (on led display) it has that shit as well and I can't proceed to watch it.

i can hear it but don't mind. also when you use pc monitors, you can use higher refresh rates. i can't hear it at 120 hz.

I usually have a fan on or headphones.

Good post, I hope you continue to expend energy towards things you don’t like and become even more pathetic and bitter in the future

You sound Schizophrenic.

CRT's are unironically superior technology.

How in the fuck would a rip have crt whine in it?

last dvi-i capable cards are nvidia 900 series

If that's the case then you can just use a simple low pass filter DSP on it to filter the high frequency.
