Problem with resolution

Hello I have AMD radeon RX 5600XT. I want to play counter strike 2 with resolution 1280x960 with black bars. I made custom resolution in amd software. GPU scaling is on and Scaling mode is preserve aspect ratio. When I launch the game the game is stretched. How can I fix this issue? I was reading some forums and learned that it could be monitor issue. I read that I need to setup my Image ratio to aspect ratio. Now it is "wide" and the button is greyed out. How can I switch it to the aspect ratio? I tried CS2 on laptop with Nvidia graphics card. I wasnt able to switch to GPU scaling, but when I clicked function "override the scaling mode set by games and programs" this function fixed the problem and game had right resolution and it was with black bars. How can I switch the monitor settings or can I fix it in amd software and if yes where can I find it?

To fix the issue and ensure Counter-Strike 2 displays at 1280x960 with black bars using your AMD Radeon RX 5600XT, follow these steps:

1. Check Your Monitor's OSD (On-Screen Display) Settings:

  • If the Aspect Ratio setting is grayed out, the monitor may be locked in a mode preventing changes.
  • Try these:
    • Change Input Source: Switch between HDMI, DisplayPort, or DVI to see if it unlocks the aspect ratio option.
    • Disable Adaptive Sync or FreeSync: These settings sometimes override aspect ratio controls.
    • Reset Monitor Settings: Look for a reset option in the monitor's menu to clear any locked configurations.

2. Adjust AMD Radeon Software Settings:

  • Open AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition.
  • Go to Display > Custom Resolutions.
  • Ensure GPU Scaling is ON and Scaling Mode is set to Preserve Aspect Ratio.
  • If it's still stretched, try Center as an alternative scaling mode.

3. Force Aspect Ratio in Windows Display Settings:

  • Right-click the desktop and select Display Settings.
  • Scroll to Advanced Display Settings > Display Adapter Properties.
  • Under the Monitor tab, set the refresh rate that matches your desired resolution (try lowering it to see if it helps).
  • In the Radeon Software, set the game resolution to 1280x960.

4. CS2 In-Game Settings:

  • Set the resolution to 1280x960 in CS2.
  • Ensure Fullscreen mode is enabled.
  • Add the launch option in Steam:
    diff
    Copy code
    -w 1280 -h 960 -fullscreen

5. Monitor Firmware or Driver Update:

  • Check if your monitor has a firmware update.
  • Install any available drivers for the monitor from the manufacturer's website.

6. Alternative Solution: Override Scaling Like NVIDIA:

Unfortunately, AMD doesn’t have a direct equivalent to the NVIDIA "Override Scaling" option. However, try:

  • In AMD Adrenalin, under Display, toggle Virtual Super Resolution and GPU Scaling on/off to refresh the settings.

If none of these work, please provide your monitor model, and I can look up its specific settings.
