has anybody tried this with a modern computer, can that get more horsepower out of audio-video?

The problem you'll almost immediately run into is that modern computers typically use digital video streams rather than analog streams. You'd need to use VGA for the audio part (and that's making a lot of assumptions about the ability to send arbitrary stuff on it, I'm not exactly sure these days), and I'm not sure what readily available component could even be used for the video part.

Sure, but there are slightly more modern systems that still had analog composite video and audio output which had a lot more power than a 6502-based C64 - like the 680x0-based Amiga. Also, other systems may not have had the C64's bandpass filter on the audio which induced the bluriness in this demo.
