Is there a DP/HDMI/DVI to VGA adapter with a DAC over 200mhz?

I need a way to get VGA out of a new GPU for a sleeper PC using a CRT. But every DP/HDMI/DVI to VGA adapter I find can't handle my CRTs max res and refresh rate. The best I ever seen was the hdfury @225mhz. Does anyone know of a DP/HDMI/DVI to VGA adapter with a DAC closer to 400mhz?
Pushing 1600x1200@85hz out of a 200mhz DAC is not the best, even worse at 2048×1536@70hz.


Dose anyone know of a DP/HDMI/DVI to VGA adapter with a DAC closer to 400mzh? I don't care what the input is it can be DP, HDMI or DVI. DP would be preferred as DVI seems to be being fazed out.

Thanks.

Could you send the signal out via e.g. a 290x or 7970 or whatever the last card with proper ramdacs was?

Id like to get a better newer card.
I had a 7970 it was ok, but a heater, same with the 780ti and 980ti. I'm hoping to get a newer mid range card.
On top of the the ramdacs in a 7xx and 9xx cards were not the best, the 7970 was ok. but anything Nvidia 2xx or ati 4xxx line and newer did not have a ramdacs tuned for a CRT and the image was not as good as it could get.

I need around a 300mhz ramdac for 2048×1536@60hz. Witch is what I'll be using. if I can't find anything that high I will have to suck it up at 1600x1200@75 with the one adapter I found that has a DAC 225mhz.

well after looking into it the hdfury dose not support 2048×1536 :( I guess its a 980ti for me.
Unless if someone knows or a adapter that supports 2048×1536 and has a ramdac closer to 300 or 400mhz

From what I'm seeing that's 60hz max refresh. Don't see it for sale anywhere ether. :(

Those are the "official" specifications, Sunix never actually stress tested it with only a VGA monitor attached. It can output every resolution and refresh rate your monitor is capable of displaying.

If you can't find the Sunix, there's a possibility this adapter from Vention has similar abilities:

let us know if you pick this up because I don't think anybody has tested it yet.

Thanks, but USB to VGA will not work for me. I don't have USB C on my system and I'm not sure how that would work with a GPU like a 1080ti or something.
I'll keep an eye out for the Sunix box.

But my bigiest concern more then anyhting is thta I play alot of older games with different resolutions and I know in the past some of these devised have to be messed with when changing resolutions
