Best used on 240Hz+ OLED displays and with two GPUs (even if the secondary GPU is an old, slow iGPU).

The overlay can be downloaded from GitHub .
Blur Buster's CRT emulator was previously only available in a demo format, through RetroArch, or n ithe VintVideo Player. ShaderBeam changes this and enables the emulator to be used in Windows with any Windows application. To get the app to work, all you'll need is a 100Hz display or greater and Windows 10 or newer.
Watch On We have already written extensively about Blur Busters' CRT simulator shader in the past. CRTs have inherently excellent motion clarity, which even today's bleeding-edge LCD and OLED displays cannot fully replicate, especially at lower refresh rates. Emulating the phosphor fade and rolling scan of CRTs on LCDs and OLEDs gives these newer display types the same effect, boosting motion clarity. The CRT way of reducing motion blur is so good that it's even better than Black Frame Insertion, which is another blur-reducing technique that's found in many high-end gaming monitors like the Asus ROG Swift PG32UCDP .
