GPU Passthrough for Your CRT

Recent Windows 10 (and Windows 11) Insider builds now allow selection of any installed GPU as the primary rendering GPU, which is great for us CRT owners looking to upgrade to a modern graphics card. In this video, I show a 1070 Ti, a card which lacks analog out, passing its rendered output through to a 980 Ti, which then outputs the final image to my Dell P1130 CRT. Julio's tweet: ...

DIY 60 Hz Backlight Strobing
Просмотров 12 тыс.3 года назад
I modified a $25 Dell P2212H to strobe its backlight at 60 Hz. Did I turn it into the ultimate CRT replacment? Nope! Creating a decent backlight strobing mode is much more involved than just turning the backlight off and on every 16.7 milliseconds, and for this video, I talk about why.

LG 24GM79G 144hz FreeSync Monitor Review
Make sure your gpu is stull supported. 🤣 trying a 8500gt for vga with my 2080ti did NOT work. It defaulted to a windows display driver and wouldnt recognize either. Installing the 2080ti driver though got me going. (Because some crts wont work even with adaptors) my HT1626 dell on one adaptor works in TV(component) mode but not in VGA mode. (In tv mode its locked at 60fps)
I modified an old Acer S271HL about 10 years ago to strobe its LED backlight. It's amazing compared to normal LCDs. There's hardly any after-image, just a little at the bottom of the screen when using side-scrolling games, and using a modeline with a longer vblank (use higher clock rate) gives more time for transitions. The mod turned out to just be a firmware change, no extra hardware needed, just RE-ing the ROM some to find where to insert some code. It has a VA panel and was plenty fast with a few-millisecond strobe (comes out fairly dim). I don't think it was a very high-end monitor. It was convenient because the CPU had an interrupt on vblank. There I could just restart the backlight timer with a low PWM frequency, so it just pulsed once per frame. The LED driver already handled pulsing since it used PWM dimming for normal brightness control. To make it easy to enable, I just added strobing to the bottom half of the brightness range, so DDC brightness control from the PC could enable/disable strobing (and set the strobe time, which also affects brightness).
Swapped out my 21" Sony for dual Dell 2001fp (20" IPS) in 2005. I did miss the low latency but with the console gaming taking over most new games were abandoning high framerate AND putting motion blur INTO game deliberately. Quake die-hards and simracers were the only ones sticking with CRT at the time. I went to a single widescreen 32" a few years later. Most games from 2005-2015 were targeting HD instead of low framerate and they were putting blur effects in deliberately (30/60fps targets) ... dark days for pc gaming. I actually think Oculus/Vive release put a fire under ATI/Nvidia to properly focus on low latency. Stereoscopic gaming was the niche that spawned modern VR and the stereo guys were OG blur busters. I still have a stereoscopic kit for CRT in the cupboard.
Been looking for something like this! I upgraded to a new pc this year and was thinking about sticking my old GPU in there (or in an external enclosure) with my shiny new 4070 for exactly this purpose when i eventually get a CRT. Didn't know this was an actual Windows feature 🤔
*Sigh* I found a P1130 in recycling dumpster at a PC repair place (after asking for permission to check what was out there). A year or two later, I ended up dumping the thing to "make more room on my desk", and "not turn my room into a furnace" (I had a three CRT AMD Eyefinity array going). That was just back in 2015 or so. Such. Regret. Back then, I was just enamored with the black levels and near zero input lag of CRTs - I wasn't even using them in a way that allowed for good motion clarity (my FPS never matched my refresh rate). The things I'd do for another one of these... Motion clarity beats everything, IMO, and every time I think about looking into "better" computer monitors, I'm reminded that I have a curved VA monitor I don't bother using at all (wife uses it for WFH sometimes), and that I'd just be angry about the blur in everything I play. CRT and VR headsets, all the way, forever (except when playing/watching with other people - then the DLP projector suffices. Which I bought thinking it'd be clear, too, but I have a double image issue, and I have no idea what to do about that/if anything can be done, or if that's just inherent to DLP/this projector).
Does your 980 Ti have a VGA out or are you using a DVI to VGA adapter? I can't seem to find any 980 Ti with a VGA out.
Huh the thing you said about CCFL is quite a suprise to me. I have NEC monitor from 2006 with CCFL back light and it looks amazing. After i bought new gaming monitor the only difference i see is pixel response time and refresh rate ofc. This NEC monitor has really good colors, i think it can get above 100% sRGB, and its max brightness is 470 nits. I was compering it few times to other monitors and its brightnes is just on another level. But idk, looks like this monitor is just really good for its time :D
Recently mistakenly bought this monitor sadly without seeing this review. May just return to 1080p 144hz and use this a secondary. I noticed in your video the resolution does fill all the way to the very edge of the screen. Is this normal ?
This is a novel feature, but has too many drawbacks. The added latency is a deal breaker on top of all the other downsides, as opposed to simply using an HDMI to VGA adapter.
can u create a program that intercepts mouse inputs and adds latency on one side and u can benchmark yourself igame like in the firingrange of apex? i feel like its so hard to guess latency when u dont have a reference
Is it possible to use Matrox GPU for this? They should have the best RAMDACs available.
This is ridiculously informative. Thanks for the level of research that you have done here which has led to a better metrics to judge monitors
Is there a reason to be using a GPU like the 980 or Titan X when doing the passthrough? Or can you actually get away with something much older and perhaps passively cooled?
I’ve searched and search and your video just came up on my feed. Brilliantly video.
This is the most impressive and very detailed review ever.
I have 3 CRT Monitors... nothing comes close to their Motion Clarity, nothing... but I'm not using them to play anymore, flickering is a problem to me, i guess i got too used to LCDs... I kinda love LCDs too.

Hey, man, I know it's been a long time, but your videos have been highly influential for me in getting into finding out the major I want to get into. I know you don't upload as often nowadays but I definitely will give the game a try despite me being poor at these types of games nowadays. I do hope you're doing well in whatever ventures you're in now, even if you aren't going to do more monitor reviews due to varying circumstances since I understand it's expensive.
That's awesome to hear! What major did you choose?
@@ApertureGrille computer engineering, my uni allows me to specialize a bit into learning more on digital image processing though I admit I'm still a slow learner
@@elisebright I recently did a lot of work in Python, which was new to me, and I found it incredibly intuitive and powerful. Lots of great libraries for basically anything you'd want to do, even image processing. But it's definitely something I wish I'd learned in a more structured way in college. I think you'll do fine! And thank you for giving the game a try! It's actually now free on Steam, but it's a highly niche style made for Quake nerds, so no worries if it's not your thing.
so should i be using the "normal" color temp setting for the color temp monitor settings? Also, how can I calibrate to see better in the dark scenes of, for example, anime? Is default just good enough? Is seems some scenes seem a bit on the darker side than I'd like... Another thing, how can I accurately and correctly calibrate the gamma as you've done in this video with those curves as opposed to what Asus defaults to as you showed?
I have the xg2431 and i think it strobes at 60hz
Do you think you could make an updated version of this video, with a newer gaming test rig with either an RTX 4090 or a RX 7900 XT as the render GPU, and testing out older GPUs to decide which ones to recommend for the VGA/DVI-I output?
Have of your steam reviews are vouching for how good your youtube channel is lol
Haha. It was definitely a bit of a pivot from monitor reviewer to game dev.
This is awesome! Do linux mint next! 😂
Bought EVGA Hybrid 980Ti WC with 2017 Tax Money (800$). Year later, added BIOS voltage, & GPU/MEM OC & Liquid Metal mods. Furmark pulls 420w (in gpuz) with steady 70c, she ran 420w+ 3 days straight no issues (furmark for the weekend while I was gone). She kept ticking with games and video encoding until I sold it in 2023. 980Ti is a king in my books
can you recommend a fine hdmi displayport to VGA?
10:55 why not just interlace? Youre using native analog out and even my 19" can do 1600x1200i 140hz and that's around 103khz
Nvidia sucks at interlacing, you can do it but it's a process to get it working, you also have to do that process every time a fullscreen application shows up and everytime you boot up windows. It's a temporary solution that becomes a pain to deal with on the daily AMD is just plug and play, create the resolution then set it. and it always works. even when you restart your pc. it boots up into your interlaced resolution no problem.
@@jskilabe5986 I'm using an Nvidia gpu
@@idkrossplay so do you know a simpler way of getting interlacing working?
@@jskilabe5986 yes go into CRU and use their interlacing features, not the ones built into Nvidia control panel
Anybody knows if this is also working on windows 10?
I'm currently trying to see if it works on win10, I will add another comment on my results
I tested it. My conclusion: It can work. but note make sure you have a ton of pcie lanes/bandwidth to work with, because I tried this with a pcie 1x riser and it basically kneecapped my fps, im getting around 20 fps at 1600x1200. I'm going to install win11 and test to see if my results differ
I tried it on win11 and win11 is a lot easier to get working because you can select the rendering gpu unlike in win10. I tried with win10 and it's not worth doing this in win 10, it's too much work because you have to have 1 monitor connected to the analog gpu and 1 to the rendering gpu, then you need to start the game on the rendering gpu's monitor, then move it to the analog display. in Win11 you can select the rendering gpu and dont have to go through the long process of having 2 monitors connected to 2 gpus and moving things around.
Sorry for my possible ignorance, but I use a Display Port to DVI connector for one of my old LCD display, and it works just fine, why not just use that? Or maybe Display Port to VGA, or DP to DVI to VGA in a cursed chain of adaptors? :D
I currently use a display port to vga adapter and it works for the most part but I can't get the most out of my monitor because the adapter has a max pixel clock of 165Mhz. I'm currently running it at 2160 x 1620i at 68Hz, but my monitor can actually run that exact resolution at 110Hz, but 110Hz requires a pixel clock of 266Mhz, a Direct connection to a VGA gpu can give you like 300Mhz to work with, and finding a high quality adapter is really hard or impossible in some countries. I live in a third world country and it would be literally cheaper to get a 2nd gpu than to import a high quality adapter. I'm not sure about interlacing but I think using a 2nd gpu can allow you to use interlacing because nvidia stopped supporting them after the 10series and AMD the RX 500 series. Interlacing is a game changer because you can run high resolutions and framerates at the same time instead of trading one for the other
@@jskilabe5986 Supports VGA 225MHZ Tudia USB-C to VGA Amazon
It is possible to do this with a GTX 1660 + a GT 710 and windows 10???
technically yes, but I think you should get an AMD analog gpu instead, getting interlaced working on nvidia sucks and is a long process, and you have to do this process every time you want to run an interlaced res. Also you can do this on windows 10, but you won't be able to select the gpu you want the application to render with. It's also a pain to get an app to use a render gpu. Windows 11 allows you to simply the render gpu.
@@jskilabe5986 so you recommend me to use An Amd analog gpu plus my 1660 ??? Am I right ? In that case what gpu would be a good one .. or could be also use and actual amd gpu plus the gt 710 .. it would work???

Hey, has someone a hint for me: I am running a 454 iiyama on my 960GTX, and the other card 4080 currently, should do the rendering. I have 2 other monitors connected to the 4080. i try running BG3, Cyberpunk, or RDR2, but it does not seam to work. I have to choose the graphics driver for each game in the graphics settings, but if I choose the 4080 I can’t choose the iiyama as the display :( Maybe someone has a tip, or a reference for me I can try out. Thanks in advance. (Tried to switch windows+shift+arrow key)
Have you tried setting your iiyama display as your main display?
@@jskilabe5986 hey thanks for the suggestions, I tried doing that, but it had something to do with the other displays. Some Games just did not want to recognize the iiyama, if there was a connection to different monitors connected to the 4080. I will post my current settings and setup below.
I have the iiyama, and optional other monitors solely connected to the 960, not to the 4080 anymore. I also moved away from the approach to always have 3 monitors connected when gaming, or even in general. It has something calming to focus on one screen, and I didn't even realize it beforehand, but multiple connected monitor evoke some kind of pressure.. Might be all work related (working as a developer).. Either way: all games are set to render their graphics with a specific CPU, namely the 4080, and the output is forced over the 960, because everything is connected here. This works like a charm, with some minor issues here and there, sometimes the framerate is caped to a specific value, mainly in microsoft games. It helps to keep something like FPS counter up top from the gamebar to fix that. And it really helped to set a specific resolution and Hz for my monitor with the resolution tool. don't use the Nvidia scaling tools, always rely on your hardware for that. Questions? Please shoot, I try to answer the comment is already quite long haha
And for the frogs? Would 120hz look that blurry even on a ps5?
I play on ps5, how is the input lag on console?
I've had this exact pass-through idea kicking around in my head for weeks and i FINALLY come across this video to prove to me that not only is it possible but it exists and works. I'm about to put a high end CRT into service as a secondary screen and my adapter is like 95% reliable for what i'm trying to do. This, on the other hand, is EXACTLY what I want to do. Gonna take some work but i think it'll be worth the effort. Thank you!
Exceptional video

What cables are you using for the dreamcast?
I don’t play in the dark because it’s worse for your eyes
I think I'll just stick with my hdmi to vga adaptor. Pretty sure I haven't ever its bottle neck yet. My crt has max vf of 85khz
once you get to the 90kHz range you will start to feel the pinch of the adapter, unless you have a decent adapter. I have a 165mhz adapter and the pinch is real, I'm running like 60% of the refresh that my monitor can handle at specific resolutions because of the pixel clock limitation
I love your channel, keep it up with the awesome quality and data. Subbed
The motion clarity of a CRT is truly something else. Its persistence is less than 1ms. 240fps@240Hz has a persistence of around 4ms, which is what most plasmas had. I do wonder what the persistence of the 120fps@120Hz backlight strobing one is.
Why do you say you're stuck with 2015 graphics performance forever? Could you not do this with a modern rtx 3070 and a 980 ti? I can't see why that would bottleneck you?
I think he means in the past; before this passthrough.
Hope your speakers are shielded! Great vid!
