Video settings
- Field of view (FOV)
- Windowed / borderless fullscreen
- Anisotropic filtering (AF)

- Ray tracing (RT)
- Color blind mode
Hardware
Key points
- Custom resolutions allow running games at resolutions your monitor can't normally display.
- This can be used for downsampling anti-aliasing; it is also useful for making custom 4:3 resolutions for games that stretch from 4:3 with normal widescreen resolutions.
- GPU scaling usually must be enabled. It is also recommended to set Scaling Mode to "Maintain aspect ratio".[citation needed]
- 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]
