RetroGamingBase Pushes Decades-Old CRT Monitor to 700Hz

The IIyama Vision Master Pro 512 achieves unprecedented refresh rates, surpassing modern gaming monitors.

  • RetroGamingBase used an Nvidia Control Panel to achieve 700Hz on a 22-year-old IIyama CRT monitor.
  • The monitor's resolution was reduced to 320 x 120 to maintain stability at this high refresh rate.
  • Previous tests on the same model reached 500Hz and 600Hz at slightly higher resolutions.
  • Modern gaming monitors typically max out at 540Hz, making this an extraordinary feat.
  • The channel plans to find a less pristine CRT for further, more rigorous testing.
