Getting black bars in CS:GO is like a trip down memory lane, right? All you gotta do is dive into your graphics card settings. For NVIDIA folks, open NVIDIA Control Panel, head to 'Adjust desktop size and position,' select 'Aspect ratio' and choose your scaling mode to 'Full-screen', then pick the resolution you game at. Boom, you're in the nostalgia zone with those sleek black bars. AMD users, fear not, your process is similar but through the AMD Radeon Settings. Remember to apply these changes while CS:GO is closed to see the magic happen when you launch the game.

Honestly, why would you want black bars? Just maximize your screen real estate and immerse yourself in the full glory of CS:GO. Playing with black bars is like wearing sunglasses at night.

Been rocking black bars since 2014, and it's all about that focus for me. Change your GPU settings, and you're golden. Makes me feel like I'm playing on an old-school CRT, and some shots just feel right, you know?
