Hardware
Key points
- Custom resolutions allow running games at resolutions your monitor can't normally display (behaviour differs across graphics APIs)[1]
- This can be used for downsampling anti-aliasing (GPU scaling must be enabled), with different DPI scaling results than "dedicated" methods[2]; it is also useful for making custom 4:3 resolutions for games that stretch from 4:3 with normal widescreen resolutions.
- In some cases, a custom resolution with a lowered vertical value can be used as a last-ditch effort to trick a game into widening its FoV. This induces letterboxing and can negatively impact the UI. If applicable, a tool such as Widescreen Fixer should be preferred.
- Custom resolutions sometimes will disappear with Windows 10 Creators Updates. They can be easily readded after the update. [citation needed]
- Custom resolution scaling with non-integer values (e.g using 2160p resolution on a 1440p monitor) will cause text and other 2D elements to appear blurry.
