Want to know what CS:GO is like at different aspect ratios? Want to get more viewing angles AND better FPS? I talk you through a few ways in this video. starting with an easy but offline method and then an online one with pros and cons.
0:22 - FOV with console command. Here's something to get you started on an offline server:
sv_cheats 1;fov_cs_debug 120
1:21 - Ultra wide-screen in proper matches. Once again, here's a value to get you started. Use these launch options:
-w 1920 -h 540 -windowed
OR, (thanks to Pandaclaw), type this in the console in-game:
mat_setvideomode 1920 540 1

QUESTION: 'You say wider FOV makes FPS lower, but then say it makes it higher!!! How?' Because the amount lost by being wider is outweighed by the smaller resolution. Resolution is the major factor that determines the speed that CS:GO runs at, so having the game run as a slit across the screen instead of fullscreen helps the framerate considerably. I suspect that a lot of people use blackbars because higher FPS helps them, instead they could use the blackbars along the top and bottom of their screen and get the best of both worlds.
Thanks to Sam Belliveau for suggesting the second method to me!

Now Phillip is in process of making a compliation: "All maps in stretched 1920x360" :D

What is the max fov that is allowed in competitive play and how do I get it??????

[@mariusvi]

Praeygon max is 68. if you wamt it type in console viewmodel_fov 68

[@PapaSmurff660]

@@mariusvi isn't that for weapon model and not actual field of view? I know that increasing aspect ratio is the true way to increase fov, but what is the highest aspect ratio you can get to?? Surely the game limits that at some point

[@MangoTangoFox]

2:00 Holy shit, I've always wondered what vertical stretching would look like...

[@Mixa_Lv]

You could've had bots on the map at 2:03. That screen style is basically 16:3 heightened, exactly opposite than the 4:3 widened that the pros use, so the character models probably would look like stick men.

[@Mixa_Lv]

The plank against the forklift was a square at first, but it became more of a 1:2 rectangle. The main benefit that's said for the 4:3s is the stretched character models, so just saying that seeing the opposite effect would've been interesting.

[@nukegamer5750]

Can i do it somehow in the game ? :D It looks so good :3 I meen with bots or even in the game ? O.O

just tested this out, the characters are not skinny at all, just really tall, everything looks smaller but characters are roughly a little thinner than 16:9 this was so cool though, props to 3kliksphillip for the video :DD

I'm absolutely entranced by the look of that squashed clip of Cache in the end there. It reminds me of one of the bombsites on one of the maps in the wildfire operation, i dont quite remember which though. If you could release a video just walking through maps with this squashed resolution I would be forever grateful. It offers a new perspective.

You should go through a bunch of maps with that last option, it looks really cool

[@MaKaBa65]

Im repeatedly suprised how you can fascinate me with such dry Topics like FOV and make them look so cool.Thanks for that. BTW that stretched out setting at the the end looked oddly satisfying to me, dont know why oO

[@Weincraft]

The way the map gets warped toward the end is amazing. This video rocked.

[@CaroFDoom]

I think the reason in game fov changes aren't allowed is because it would pretty much let you scope any weapon, making unscoped long range shots less impressive

[@KilledByMacho]

Phillip i dont get the black bars at the top and bottom please help me get that because i dont want to look at my background when playing!

[@SleepyPugg]

You should do an entire video on the stretching to fill your monitor part. That was so cool and interesting.

[@bejimeister9237]

Following.

[@Meow_meow_meow_meow_]

Something something mess with gpu settings. Look for some scaling option.

[@NealSFM]

Are you using the -windowed launch option perimeter? That's most likely the case.

[@inactivemydudes4554]

Yes but that is the only way I could even get it to be super stretched like 3kliks

[@inactivemydudes4554]

If I try using full-screen or take out -windowed it goes to normal 1920x1080

[@Phoenixx-vy7ln]

+deme72 glad we can both agree on the fact you're a degenerate despite the absence of evidence regarding your degeneration degenerate, i believe that's enough evidence, if not I'll gladly list out more

[@Phoenixx-vy7ln]

+deme72 I'm sorry, it is impossible to detect sarcasm in comments on a media app, despite my best efforts i still delivered the evidence onto why you're a degenerate, you simply keep adding to it and well i really can't say much for you other than goodluck, when life hits and you start having motion sickness for no reasonable reason, it is when you'll realize you truly are a Degenerate

[@Phoenixx-vy7ln]

+deme72 ah, u claim it doesn't make sense yet you understand what i said, but you still missed the part on " despite my best efforts " that im talking to a degenerate and information, in this case, evidence onto why yout a degenerate, doesn't always go through

[@ventusluca]

CS:GO locking down the FOV is fucking cancer. I really have no idea why people praise this game as a very nice PC game, don't get me wrong, it's fun to play. But for such a competitive shooter as CS:GO a customisable FOV is a must.

[@schtorfy]

?

[@wayup8122]

FOV is customizable is csgo...

[@cameronteeple5296]

having a standard fov is for balancing, so everyone plays with the same advantages in a competitive game

[@schtorfy]

+Cameron Teeple that's fucking stupid. If you want higher FOV, turn down your settings. No need to have a set one when you're on PC.

[@gregorywhatley9659]

If you changed it to 1920 x 135 or something lower, could you theoretically get more than 180 degrees of vision? I know the screen would be practically a strip with the black bars taking up 90% of the screen, but it would be interesting to know, so someone tell me if they do since I'm too lazy to try it out myself.

[@teamfortresseditor2]

Csgo uses hor+ fov scaling so 180 degrees is max fov.

You don't need to set the launch options for custom resolution nor do you need windowed mode. You just need to create a custom resolution in nvidia control panel. It will then appear in game options.
