flybynight:
I just noticed a new version of ATOM-15 was released last month and it supports R9 380 and R9380X cards:

These were the last cards that supported native analogue output through the DVI-I port.
Thank you to Calamity the author of Atom-15

Atom makes sure your tube gets the right signal 100% of the time right? I thought it had become outdated so I hadn't looked into it...

Yes, mostly. It's a GPU BIOS mod. When your PC boots, the mobo hands over display control to the GPU (if you have a monitor plugged into the GPU, and not to your mobo). This BIOS mod ensures the GPU BIOS will only deliver 15kHz modes (or higher if you set it for that).
Once Windows loads, the GPU hands control of the displays over to the Windows drivers. Things can still go wrong on the Windows end, because with the way Windows works no driver can be perfect. Crt_emudriver comes as close possible though, rest assured. You're vanishingly unlikely to hurt a TV from the 90's or later by feeding it incorrect sync a few times, but booting it out of range every day is not going to do it any good.
