Actually, stretching is better. Who needs black bars when you can have more visibility? 🤷‍♂️

No Nvidia? No problem! For Intel graphics users, dive into the Intel Graphics Control Panel, click on Display, and then hit the General Settings tab. From there, select the Scaling and choose the 'Center Image' option. Black bars should appear just like magic.

If you're running an AMD card, getting those stylish black bars in CS:GO is pretty straightforward. Just pop open your AMD Radeon Settings, head over to Display, and look for the GPU Scaling option. Turn that on and set the Scaling Mode to 'Center.' This should do the trick and give you black bars without the need for Nvidia hardware.

I managed to get black bars by messing around in my monitor's settings directly. There's usually an aspect ratio or display mode setting in there. Switch it to something like '4:3' and you might be able to make those bars appear without touching graphics card settings at all.
