This creates a virtual display in Windows that acts and functions just like a real one. It's useful for streaming, virtual reality applications, recording, headless servers, etc. The benefit over a physical display is the ability to adjust resolutions and refresh rates beyond the physical displays capabilities. For example, this would enable the ability to stream a game from your home PC using game streaming software at 240hz at 8K while owning a 60hz 1080p monitor (unrealistic, but explains the abilities well). For servers without displays, this enabled remote desktop and screen streaming to other systems as if there were a display installed. Supports emulating resolutions from **640 x 480** to **7680 x 4320 (8K)**, and refresh rates including **60hz, 75hz, 90hz, 120hz, 144hz,** and **240hz.** @@ -58,7 +58,11 @@ This project uses the official Windows Indirect Display Driver combined with the 120Hz 144Hz 240Hz - + +### Video + +[![How to install a virtual display](https://i3.ytimg.com/vi/byfBWDnToYk/maxresdefault.jpg)](https://youtu.be/byfBWDnToYk "How to install a virtual display") + ### Screenshots: ![image](https://github.com/itsmikethetech/Virtual-Display-Driver/assets/25166211/0f1dfed6-c9ac-4cb6-92cf-7d9ab2ac0c66) @@ -104,3 +108,7 @@ Microsoft Indirect Display Driver/Sample (Driver code): https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/tree/master/video/IndirectDisplay Thanks to https://github.com/akatrevorjay/edid-generator for the hi-res EDID. + +## Star History + +[![Star History Chart](https://api.star-history.com/svg?repos=itsmikethetech/Virtual-Display-Driver&type=Date)](https://star-history.com/#itsmikethetech/Virtual-Display-Driver&Date)
