Setting up stretched resolution in CS:GO isn't rocket science, folks! First, you gotta change your desktop resolution to the stretched one you want in the game. Right-click on your desktop, go to Display Settings > Advanced Display Settings, and select your desired resolution. Then, open CS:GO, go to Settings > Video Settings, and set the Display Mode to Fullscreen. Bam! You're now playing in stretched mode. Enjoy the wider field of view and those easier headshots!

Honestly, why bother? Playing on your monitor's native resolution gives the best visual clarity. Sure, stretched might make targets appear wider, but are a few pixels worth the distortion and potential headache? Play the game as it's meant to be seen!

It's all about the GPU settings. If changing the desktop resolution doesn't stretch it in the game like you want, dive into your NVIDIA or AMD control panel. For NVIDIA, go to Adjust desktop size and position, then select Full-screen under Scaling. AMD users, look for Display > GPU Scaling and set it to Full Panel. This forces the stretch in-game, no matter what resolution you pick in CS:GO.
