Can we Reach 700Hz by Overclocking this Old CRT Monitor? RetroGamingBase 2024-06-23 | Maybe this will be the world´s first 700Hz Monitor. In the past we have already overclocked this iiyama Vision Master Pro512 CRT succesfully up to 500Hz. Today we will try to reach a higher refresh rate than even the modern monitor industry currently has. Even if the resolution that we have to use for that is so low that it´s no longer really good for gaming I think it´s still a funny thing if we can beat todays maximum Hz by using a CRT Monitor from 2002.Join our Discord to chat and exchange Pictures about CRTs, Retro Computers and other stuff: discord.gg/CGUNHKEz
Real DOS Gaming with 100Hz on CRTs and fixing old video cards with kitchen paper RetroGamingBase 2024-06-02 | In this video I will show you how you can with 100Hz under real DOS and sometimes fix old Video Cards. The Spea Mirage ISA video card is a dream when you want to game on authentic Retro PCs under real DOS on CRT Monitors. Normally DOS runs with 70Hz but with this card and the correct drivers you can increase the refresh rate by a lot and play old DOS games with 100Hz or more. I have several of these cards and just got another one cheap from eBay that was sold as untested. I have made the experience that sellers often say it is untested when in fact they know that it's not working. But depending on the skill level of the seller you can make a bargain if you have a trick or two up your sleeves.00:00 Intro and Test01:26 Setting up the card for 100HzJoin our new Discord to chat and exchange Pictures about CRTs, Retro Computers and other stuff: discord.gg/CGUNHKEz

I used the fastest CRT Monitor for Modern Gaming under Windows 11 RetroGamingBase 2024-04-17 | I pushed my iiyama Vision Master Pro 512 CRT Monitor to 255Hz under Windows 11 for modern gaming.
