    Yep, did a DDU to uninstall the new driver, and also did a DDU to uninstall the old driver. Did both multiple times in case it was a fluke, so at least the behavior is consistent.

    Sorry if a double-post is frowned upon if it's >1 week apart, but figured I'd check in to see if anyone here had some similar experiences. I got the aforementioned EVGA 980 Ti installed in my system and everything worked BEAUTIFULLY between my FW900 using it for native analog output and my 3080...

    I've come crawling back after the holiday season - bought myself an EVGA GTX 980 Ti as a treat since it outperforms the Radeon card by a good margin and I thought that might make a difference. I've also had a motherboard failure in my AM4/X570 setup, so I've begrudgingly upgraded to an AM5/X870E...

    Both paths are using VGA/VGA cables. I have a secondary video chain that uses the BNC input (mostly for HDMI to VGA conversion for consoles). My two PC GPUs output to a dumb ATEN switcher, so I use that to switch between the Nvidia card with the external DP2VGA DAC output and the AMD card with...

    Yup - literally neither of the GPUs are working as far as CRU. The AMD output is the one that comes up as the "Generic PnP Monitor," so even in the analog signal between the two, nothing is able to correctly identify the FW900.

    My coating was also scratched to hell when I came across my FW900 holy grail about 5 years ago. I ended up using cerium oxide polishing powder per some suggestions elsewhere (this was before I knew the coating was plastic) and a buffing wheel, and I've been so happy with how it came out even if...

    Yes, praise the almighty FW900 some more... That's what I live for! 😎 Also, thanks for mentioning FPGA solutions on there -- a lot of this is completely over my head (as it should be, since you're THE GUY for blur-busting, unless your name is a LIE), but I was wondering how FPGA systems might...

    I've been thinking about this a lot today... If motion blur=pulse width, then speeding up sync pulses (shortening them) by increasing framerate reduces motion blur, which makes perfect sense since that's exactly why we want consistently smooth, high framerates while gaming and such... Probably...

    I remember seeing a lot of this on your site, but thanks for posting it again here to refresh my memory! It's pretty cool to hear from Mr. Chief Blur Buster himself! 😎 For some reason (custom resolutions?), my FW900/Windows 10 PC does NOT like the various tests on there... Sometimes they work...

    So I have a rather pointless and dumb tinker-quest I've been on lately. I made this post on Blurbusters (shameless plug) a little while ago, and they didn't seem to think it made sense or would work, but I figured I might as well run it by you fine, fine people and see what you think. I play a...

    I love my FW900 to the point where it's probably my prized possession if I had to say, as someone who also "rediscovered" CRTs as an adult and realized what I'd been missing out on, but I can't argue with how inefficient they are as far as power consumption, size, weight, etc. Not to mention the...

    Kinda curious if anyone has had any luck with 1440p@60hz over various VGA converters out there, especially now that the PS5 apparently supports it.

    I'm really new to this whole custom/tweaked drivers thing. How exactly do you guys recommend getting started or attempting to learn about this stuff? Is installation generally as easy as just using DDU to uninstall the official one(s) and installing a different one you find pre-assembled on some...

    I removed mine due to some EXCESSIVE scratching on it, and I think it's still rather okay, as I do use it in a lower-light controlled room. That being said, I don't have another one running with the coat still on to compare, but the black levels seem pretty great still to me if you did feel...
