1280x960 stretched is the way to go, trust me. It's the sweet spot that gives you a bit more visibility without making everything look too chunky. Been playing with this res for years and it's a game changer.

All these pros talking about low res for higher FPS are missing out. If your PC can handle it, 1920x1080 is where it's at. Why play a beautiful game like CS:GO looking like you're back in the 2000s? Sharper images, better visibility, and it's just more enjoyable.

Honestly, the 'best' resolution for CS:GO really depends on your personal preference and your monitor's capabilities. Pro players often stick to lower resolutions like 1024x768 for the higher FPS and because they're used to it from older versions of Counter-Strike. But if you've got a powerful rig and a nice monitor, why not crank it up to the max native resolution and enjoy the crisp graphics? Just make sure you're keeping a good balance between performance and visual quality to stay competitive.

4:3 stretched, no question. It makes the models look bigger and easier to hit. You might lose a bit on the visuals, but hey, if it gets you more headshots, worth it.
