Need help, can't play 1440x1080 4:3

[VonProdigy]

Hey all, so I've been playing CS:GO on 1920x1080 for the longest, but I wanted to switch it around. I heard 1440x1080 is basically 4:3 but HD. I've made the custom resolution in my nvidia control panel, but It doesn't show up in my settings like videos I've watched. Anyone know why? Thanks

You can set custom resolutions though, its pretty much bunching pixels into larger pixels.Looks really bad compared to a monitor of the actual resolution, but it gives a nice fps boost.

Try restarting your PC or manually set it as your desktop resolution.

4:3 resolutions can give more fps because it doesnt need to render as many pixels along the width of the screen.

just the thing you need

It worked, thanks a ton. But I'm not using 4:3 for FPS boost, I don't need that. Crosshairs look like absolute dogshit on 1920x1080 in my opinion.

Nice to see that people are once again avoiding the question.

First thing's first: what cable are you using to connect to your display?
