Black bars? Just set your game resolution in CS:GO to 4:3 aspect ratio and tweak your monitor or graphics card settings to not stretch the image. Voila, welcome to the past.

Honestly, why bother with black bars? Maximize your field of view with a full screen. It's 2023, not 2012!

Getting those classic black bars in CS:GO is reminiscent of the old school setups. It's simple! Just go into your graphics card's control panel. For NVIDIA, you'd right-click your desktop, select NVIDIA Control Panel, then head to 'Adjust desktop size and position' within the 'Display' section. Here, you'll find 'Aspect ratio' where you can select 'Perform scaling on:' and choose 'GPU'. Make sure to check 'Override the scaling mode set by games and programs'. Apply and launch CS:GO to enjoy the nostalgic view!
