VALORANT Guide: Get True Stretched Resolution in Fullscreen Mode (No 3rd Party Apps)

Are you looking to gain a competitive edge in VALORANT? Many players swear by stretched resolution for its ability to make enemies appear wider and easier to hit. In this guide, we'll show you how to achieve true stretched resolution in VALORANT without using any third-party apps and while maintaining fullscreen mode.

Benefits of Stretched Resolution

Before we dive into the steps, let's quickly cover why you might want to use stretched resolution:

• Wider enemy models, making them easier to spot and hit
• Potentially improved frame rates due to lower resolution
• Some players find it more comfortable for aiming

However, it's important to note that there's a trade-off: your field of view (FOV) will be slightly reduced compared to native resolution.

Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these steps carefully to set up stretched resolution in VALORANT:

1. Disable Your Monitor in Device Manager

• Open Device Manager
• Expand the "Monitors" section
• Right-click on your monitor and select "Disable"

2. Create a Custom Resolution in Nvidia Control Panel

• Open Nvidia Control Panel
• Create a custom resolution
• Important: The aspect ratio should be 1.45 max (e.g., 1566÷1080 = 1.45)
• For those playing at 1440x1080, you can use 1440x993

3. Configure VALORANT Display Settings

• Launch VALORANT
• Keep the native resolution selected
• Set the display mode to "Letterbox"
• Then change it back to "Fill"

4. Apply Custom Resolution

• Go back to Nvidia Control Panel
• Apply the custom resolution you created earlier

5. Final VALORANT Settings Adjustment

• Return to VALORANT
• Change the display mode to "Letterbox" again
• Finally, switch it back to "Fill"

6. Enjoy Your Stretched Resolution!

You should now be playing VALORANT in stretched resolution with fullscreen mode enabled.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you've successfully set up true stretched resolution in VALORANT without relying on third-party applications.

Experiment with different resolutions to find what works best for you and your playstyle.

Happy gaming, and may your aim be true!
