To enable stretched resolution in CS:GO, you first need to adjust your computer's display settings. Right-click on your desktop, go to Display Settings > Advanced Display Settings, and choose the resolution that's lower than your monitor's native resolution but maintains the same aspect ratio. Then, launch CS:GO, go to Settings > Video Settings, and set the aspect ratio to match what you set in your display settings. Sometimes, you might also need to tweak settings in your GPU's control panel to ensure it scales the image to full screen.

Hot take: Why even bother with stretched res? Just stick to the native resolution for the best visual experience. Messing with resolutions feels so 2010.

Actually, setting up a stretched res can really make a difference in your gameplay. I did this a couple of months ago and noticed that targets appear slightly larger and easier to hit. It's not just a visual thing; it feels like it slightly improves my reaction time. Make sure to adjust both your computer's and in-game settings for it to work properly.
