Black bars in CS:GO are usually due to your game's resolution not matching your monitor's aspect ratio. If you're playing on a widescreen monitor but have the game set to a 4:3 resolution, you'll see these black bars on the sides. Check your game settings and adjust the resolution to match your monitor's native aspect ratio. This should fix it!

Just set your game to run in 'Fullscreen Windowed' mode instead of 'Fullscreen'. Sometimes, this trick does wonders and gets rid of the black bars without having to fiddle with the resolution settings.

lol why bother with resolutions, just play the game. Adds a vintage feel with those black bars ;)
