Re: CRT... is 120Hz the answer?

So instead of relying on the nVidia control panel, I tried using Custom Resolution Utility again. I unchecked all the "established resolutions" and deleted all existing custom and standard resolutions. I added the following standard resolutions only: 1024 x 768 120Hz 640 x 400 70Hz 640 x 480 120Hz …

Re: CRT... is 120Hz the answer?

Thank-you so much for explaining the math to me. I have a much better understanding of how this works now. You're right, the Automatic settings used a Pixel Clock of 133Mhz combined with a horizontal refresh of 96.96 KHz, which based on 808 total vertical lines yields 120 Hz vertical refresh rate. …

Re: CRT... is 120Hz the answer?

Thanks for the replies. I'm using RTSS to cap framerates in games (the Scanline Sync feature, which works in Windows 10 but not XP, is amazing). Yes, 1600 x 1200 (75 Hz or 60 Hz) is slightly softer on this monitor. 1024 x 768 at 120 Hz is amazingly sharp and fluid. So I edited the custom resolution …

CRT... is 120Hz the answer?

So for awhile now I've been using my 19" CRT as my preferred retro gaming monitor, and I've primarily been using it at 1280 x 1024 @ 85 Hz. The monitor also supports 1600 x 1200 @ 75 Hz but to my eye 85 Hz looks noticeably smoother than 75 Hz. Lately I've experimented with 640 x 480 and 800 x 600 …

Re: My voodoo3 rig

Nice system! Voodoo3 is a great card, and getting difficult / expensive to obtain. I suggest having a fan nearby, to possibly prolong the longevity of the card. I use 2x 92mm fans and some AliExpress brackets in my similar system . In my experience, finding a junk (maybe nonworking) beige computer …

Re: Windows XP/98 Gaming PC Build Log

Sorry to hear about your 9800 Pro. I guess on the bright side you got it in a bundle for a good price. My original Raeon 9700 (which I bought new back in the day) died after a few years of use. Recently I bought a 2nd hand Radeon 9800 Pro which worked perfectly for a year or so then died. On the …

Re: Windows XP/98 Gaming PC Build Log

Back in the day, we used to use Norton Ghost and Partition Magic frequently. Mostly because I would find odd ways to bork my Win9x install (modded drivers, questionable software from the internet, etc). I think I also had some legacy FAT16 partitions (which were only 2GB) since the drive was …
