  This channel is the very concept of pointless computing personified and I'm here for it.

  Fallout 4 running at perfect frame rates but only if you run it at 640x480 is entirely in character.

  iGPUs running Crysis properly, Fallout 4 at a solid 60fps, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!

  I think it's pretty poetic that when originally watching this while grocery shopping, it defaulted to 240p for no reason. The ideal way to watch.

  I actually used to play beamNG like this, because before I got a dedicated GPU (this was a long time ago) I used to have to play beamNG at 480p and I found that it looked better on my 480i Bush CRT telly that I used for my Commodore 64 and NES. I already happened to have a vga to composite adapter so I did actually play the game like that for a year or so as the game looks at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsdR9RPJSMM&amp;t=572">9:32</a>, expect I resized the hud so it a normal size and had to run the game still at lowest settings as it was a 4th gen iGPU. Running the game at ultra settings on my GTX 980 now is soooo much better but I still look back on that fondly. I do however still daily drive duel HD CRTs (mostly because they are very cheap for how good of an image you get) + an old LCD (1024x768) monitor. The main monitor is 1600x1200 @ 65Hz but sometimes its quite fun to run fps games at 480p @ 160Hz cause you can do that on CRTs!

  RDR2 looks like a bloody film at those settings. That&apos;s WILD.

  This scratched an itch i&apos;ve nearly forgotten about. &nbsp;Back when budget building and lowspec content was popular on youtube and folks would go to great ends to play modern titles on old hardware, usually requiring modding ini files, hex editing, changing drivers and res, crazy workarounds etc. &nbsp;This really hit that feel again, even though it&apos;s a different kinda thing. &nbsp;Very fun!

  I love watching James May’s nephew do stuff with computers.

  CRT gamer here, I love using old PC monitors cause you can push them really hard for great effects like 800x600 at 160hz and 1024x768 at 140hz and super crisp looking 2048x1536 at 90hz - I often use my CRTs to run raytrayced games at high framerates without DLSS as well as old gems - funny thing I have a pretty powerfull system but I just love CRTs and retro games - I own 11 CRTs (monitors TVs and PVMs) I love the video btw

  Saying that the picture had depth and realism isn&apos;t a dumb thing to say. It&apos;s always been true of dark tube curved crts. It was (along with the fact that the image is made from dots which is like free anti-aliasing, and the response times/input lag being non-existent) CRT&apos;s primary advantages over other technologies. And it&apos;s still true today. It&apos;s kind of a shame that CRT&apos;s didn&apos;t maintain a following that was large enough to keep them commercially viable.
