How to use CRT as extra monitor? (self.crtgaming)

I have a Triniton Wega (480i) that I'd like to use as a separate monitor for streaming VHS rips and pixely PC games. My computer is a Win11 machine with a 2080, and I just tried usb-c output of the 2080->hdmi->component converter->TV and (to no one's surprise) it didn't work. I used Nvidia's custom resolution to use settings people have suggested online, but my TV would only accept the signal before I OKed the settings then it goes back to fuzz. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I should try or change before resorting to buying a second GPU?
