[@Bingoboyy]

Finally! Thank you so much

[@myboysanji]

Cant seem to make a custom res on my NVIDIA. I'm using a G60SD 1440p monitor, 7800x3 and 4070. No DSR option on my NVIDIA Settings as well. Need some help

[@sherlockholmes6639]

Worked like a charm, thnx for the guide man you earned my sub keep rocking

[@kurisu2281]

Do I have to do this everytime I want to play val? Its cuz i play other games and i kinda dont wanna keep switching back to the original res

[@instinctmb]

@@kurisu2281 Yea, unfortunately you have to :( But correct me if I’m wrong, you can just leave the Generic PNP Monitor Off and simply change the resolution in NVIDIA Control Panel every time you want to play Val!

[@joowi]

Thanks men, I tried your settings of this video and I drop a 30 bomb game with strech res hiting beatiful hs, like new sub❤

[@jellybeanroasting1659]

YOOO THANKS MAN!! i wasnt happy with winexp as its windowed the input lag is more and fps drops but u made me stick to exclusive fullscreen! i hope this doesnt get patched or anything. btw is there any shortcut to quickly change the res to native after playing?

[@instinctmb]

@@jellybeanroasting1659 I’m so happy to hear man! Winexp is also technically bannable :p but no, I don’t think there is a shortcut to going back to native after playing unfortunately. Just gotta change back the resolution manually in NVIDIA Control Panel ^v^

[@robikossssss]

how to play 1280x1024 on true stretched?

[@risky7672]

Can't tell if its stretched or not.. My UI is normal looking. My menu is also normal. (Like it would look in 1920x1080 and im using the 1280x880 looks more stretched when i just do 1280x960 in the games res. Any suggestions?

[@ioriy]

what res should i if my monitor is 2560 x 1440p? am i only allowed one resolution for the best fit or can i use 1280 x 960?

[@neg44n]

2088x1440

[@rinkoshirokane6602]

I generally prefer true stretched resolution because I come from CS lol

[@samiurrahman6527]

what would be the resolution for 1080p after dividing with 1.45? can you help please?

[@instinctmb]

True stretch isn’t banned from official tournaments?

[@Satsulol]

my monitor is 2560x1440 are there res for that?

[@MoralDWR]

I saw a different video a few weeks ago and 2 resolutions that were used in it were 1920 x 1324 and 1600 x 1100

[@tcboys2234]

i use 1920x1324

[@천둥소리-r1n]

사용자 정의로 만들면 만들어집니다~

[@JacobG213]

i use 2090x1440, that is 1.451 like the others in the video

[@Water333cs]

so does disabling your monitor effect any other operations on your pc like other games etc or is it fine to just leave it disabled

[@instinctmb]

I personally turn Generic PNP Monitor back on after using True Stretched in Valorant but my friend keeps it off and everything still works fine. However if you use OBS, display capture won't work with monitors off as it wouldn't recognize any displays.

[@carlryanlagrimas1884]

i cant click on the fill button after i changed my res to 1440x993

[@the1nonlysc]

My monitor is stuck at 60 frames can I not fix that it’s stretched but not running as good as

[@breds7110]

i did the steps it said custom but i couldnt press fill for some reason any reason for that?

[@strongpassword4827]

you can only select fill if you are in your native resolution

[@crwzy5743]

What res to use for 2560x1600 i play on laptop monitor

[@instinctmb]

@@crwzy5743 try 2560x1765 :)

[@myboyhello4012]

I usually use winexp, but maybe that's bannable idk. And this method seems safer. I got one question what's 1280x1080 is that 1280x882?

[@instinctmb]

@@myboyhello4012 I don’t think winexp is bannable however they don’t allow that method in official VCT matches. Yes, the weakness of this method is that there is a cap to how much you can stretch it (the 1.45 calculation) so yes, 1280x1080 players will have to stick to 1280x882 instead :p

[@myboyhello4012]

@@instinctmbOk! Thanks

[@zayix2482]

At first I thought it doesn't work since I can't seem to click the fill button so I still have black bars on the top and and bottom. My mistake was my custom resolution i set to 1440x1080, so I just did what the video told me what to do which is customizing a resolution to 1440x993 now I can press the fill button. I think valorant just locks it for some reason if it is on 1080 or 1440.

[@leonr2964]

he literally told u in the video that it wont work unless u divide the res u want by 1.45 to get the vertical. just listen...

[@ssensationn]

hey instict! can we do that to a laptop too?

[@instinctmb]

You should be able to!

[@tungnguyenthanh9158]

So good video! pls do a aim routine next i want aim like u 🔥🔥

[@adenm512]

it wont let me keep my monitor Hz at 75 when I try make the new resolution inside geforce, any idea why?

[@Hxnterr7]

Put it to 74 hz since it’s custom it’ll range between 73hz and 75hz

[@baytaxay]

does it work on laptop?

[@BirdyNachos]

I havent changed any settings but i can still get stretched just by changing in game settings. idk what i did lol

Yeah but not true stretched

[@Magsponge]

i get black bars on the sides. i also try to change rendering mode to fullscreen on nvidia but it doesn't let me. any tips?

[@instinctmb]

Yeah, usually black bars on the sides stems from not having "Adjust desktop size and position" on "Full Screen" in Nvidia Control Panel. Maybe try another resolution? And make sure you do the steps before launching Valorant.

you don’t actually have to because you can get used to it really fast in a death match or whatever other game mode to test it out, but at the same time there isn’t much you have to get used to either for anyone wondering, it’s pretty nice
