For some reason, the game refuses to allow my 1920x1440 custom res as Full Screen. It only shows it as an option as fullscreen windowed (which uses more resources on the desktop apps).
Found this solution on steam forums: You can do changes in `Steam/userdata/{steamid}/730/local/cfg/cs2_video.txt`, it worked for me. Just change the resolution or refresh rate there.
for all 2 monitors setup's guys, who have some problems with doing stuff on 2nd monitor while cs2 is open on 1st one !!! I just found how to solve it, but it isn't perfect. You need to go to the settings>system>advanced display settings>choose monitor on which you are playing cs2>show card properties for display, then>list of all modes and for me i choose 1920x1440 180hz (i play on this settings cs2 on 1440p 180hz monitor) then apply. It will strech your monitor to 4:3 so yeah, this is minus, but you can do whatever you want on your second screen when you play without glitching and minimazing your game :) if something will still wrong, do what is in this video first and then do what i said. when you're done, you need to change fullscreen in cs2 to windowed, you will not able to change hz anymore, so set is at the highest lever earlier, and everything will work fine. After game you need to switch back mode in system settings to normal mode, that you have before, if you not like have streched screen all the time :) simple and works, but you need to put some effort first time. Next time when you wanna play again, you basically need to change bacck resolution to 4:3 in system settings for your cs2 screen (same as you have in game) and you ready to go :D Imo worth
if something still is wrong, paste it in your cs2 launch options in steam: -window -w 1920 -h 1440 -noborder ofc -w (your first res) -h (your second res) i play on 1920x1440 so for me its: -window -w 1920 -h 1440 -noborder

FOR ALL THE 4K NERDS LIKE ME. Set your custom resolution to 2880 x 2160. As he said, it'll pop up in CS2 after you make a custom one, and won't unless you do. When playing stretched, you're essentially "stretching" a resolution, and the typical 4:3 is 75% of the actual resolution of the monitor. Stop thinking about it and trust me. 😆

guys, i just got a new monitor and it has 165hz. for whatever reason, now anytime that i tab out, it takes 5+ seconds to get to my desktop. my desktop res is 1920 x 1080 and cs2 is 1440 x 1080 does anybody know a fix?
my monitor is 1920x1080, sooo what streched resolutio should i use? i used 1280x960 on csgo but now on cs2 it looks so bad... I have problems understanding spoken english so i had to comment here and maybe someone can type :D Edit: i checked comments and found 1440x1080 is perfect!
Guys why when i switch on stretched it really looks like 800x600 no matter if 1920x1440 or other settings.. it really looks really bad and somehow zoomed in... I am Playing on a 2560x1440 27 inch monitor.
i wanted to play 1600x1200 4:3 144hz, but couldn't. in Nvidia settings this resolution was locked at 75hz (my monitor's minimum), so i've created custom resolution 1600x1200 and put 144hz on this and since then i was able to choose it in cs2 menu
I think it is some kind of a bug. Try closing the settings menu and going back to it after you have set the desired resolution. You should get all the available refresh rates. Works for me.

This actually makes sense, because the 4:3 resolution picked is 75 percent of the actual resolution in order for it to be stretched. 75% of 1920 is 1440, 75% of 2560 is 1920, and for 4k (which is 3840 x 2160) 75% of 3840 is 2880. @@eyeballbat
you can always use Nvidia image scaling tech and sharpen the image but people like the stretched look native looks narrow and uncanny idk some people dont find it odd i literally get repulsed and whiplash playing at that res
