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 must be enabled and set to "Maintain aspect ratio".
- 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.
- This doesn't work for Intel graphics.
