What IS "Stretched Res" In Valorant and Should YOU Be Using It?

hello everyone it is shakes and today we are going to be talking about stress resolutions now if you don't know what a stretch resolution is it's pretty much just when your resolution in game mine is 2560 times 1440 because I have a 1440p monitor but most you guys are probably going to be rocking with 1920x1080p and for both of these resolutions it's at a 16 by 9 ratio for horizontal to Vertical pixels now most screens back in the day were not 16x9 they are more likely 4x3 or even 5x4 which is a more square-ish looking screen if you choose one of these nice 4x3 or 5x4 resolutions you're going to be choosing a resolution that has a greater ratio of vertical to horizontal pixels now what this usually does is it stretches the horizontal pixels out so the screen looks a little bit wider as you can see my Crosshair is a little bit wider than it would be otherwise and this usually gives people an advantage in Counter-Strike for example the entire game has its horizontal pixels stretched so pretty much every single character in that game looks a little bit wider when you have stretched resolution since you do most of your aiming horizontally anyway it does seem to to give a minor advantage to players who use it and that's why pretty much most Pros are all on 4x3 at least in Counter-Strike valent on the other hand is special because it has some kind of balancing mechanisms that if you change from a normal resolution to something that's stretched your character models will not also be stretched out they're actually going to be scaled so they look just as thick if you're on stretch res as if you're on normal res which makes pretty much everyone roughly at the same playing field but then on the other hand there's less benefit to actually using stretch stress despite this a lot of really good players still use stretches and I'll show you exactly why throughout this video because it might not be so obvious hey what's up team hey hello hello how's it been um I ghosted you like last September you ghosted me yeah what why why would you do that because I talked about my uh trauma with my dad and uh you assumed that my car accident was by drama so I literally just like okay so I just left really well you know I'm a better man now maybe I wasn't so good back in that day hope you're good at Valerie because uh therapy is not for being a therapist is for even also I appreciate how when the game engine doesn't have to load it's not even full screen like they just haven't fixed that issue yet while the character models aren't actually stretched out by having a stretched resolution what is stretched out is your Crosshair if you're looking at my Crosshair right now and you have a pretty good eye you can probably recognize that it's you know a little bit more stretched out horizontally and a lot of players like the look of these stretched out crosshairs I mean they look pretty good and if you compare them one to one you can see they're a little bit wider they're a little bit easier to see the middle of because there's more horizontal space overall stretch resolution just creates cooler crossers tripping tripping what whoa that's crazy an unfortunate side effect of having stretch resolution is uh how all the menus kind of look a little bit too large and don't always sit on the screen as you can see it's not unplayable of course it's just a little bit disorienting but it's definitely worth it for all the variation of beautiful crosses you can get they just look so much better for whatever reason on stretched resolution they're just stretched a little ah just just just the right amount to make them look cool also tens likes himself I mean naturally it has to be good right we're switching to 1280 for this one oh my God the Crosshair looks so good dude I love the Crosby like this look at this oh my God look at this Crosshair tell me it's not gorgeous especially compared to the normal 16x9 version oh so ugly there's a raisin Pros use stretch stress I mean some of them should I get my oat down here let's go thank you let's play spikes down here I could destroy that Phoenix if he gave me the chance he gave you the chance okay you guys are alone you guys are alone nice slow retake [Music] the sofa was just taking it when he has a marshal oh oh yeah yeah I don't know dude so it was like all right I'm gonna hold everyone off with my single Marshall dude is a brave gamer this guy you don't hear me what is that [Music] oh yeah sorry I I didn't hear you I I thought like you guys are gonna have four on it therapist you didn't hear him no well you know that you're getting a negative five stars negative five stars one store on Yelp no don't do that I'll pay you great therapist on there yeah I don't know if you can do that for you thank you my wall oh [ __ ] no no he's just better he can do the same thing as me and he can push forward I had to run away I needed a breather after that flash this guy is simply The Flash guide I I just don't know what to do I just don't know what to do nice much oh Diamond two from stress res oh my God I'm gonna say stretch stress gave me diamond too because I was not at Diamond 2 before this so I'm going to say stress resolution did rank me up I should put that as a clickbait title but I'm not going to because this is an informational video anyway the main reason why a lot of good players use stretch to resolution even if it doesn't make player models any wider and therefore it doesn't really give you any you know physical advantage in terms of pixels the main reason is a lot simpler than you think it's simply because stretch resolutions usually give you more FPS if you look at the normal resolution versus the 4x3 stretch resolution equivalent you can see there's about 540 less pixels horizontally which just means there's going to be less pixels to render and therefore higher FPS smoother gameplay game is a little bit easier that's pretty much the main reason why these players use stretch resolution on Valerian spiking window oh me can you smoke it uh where window mid window yeah I got you come on guys oh man you better be watching that with your life no they're both there one week no no why would you do that good jobs guy I gotta ask why you stunned me was that on purpose you're gonna smoke you're gonna smoke uh one way here you're gonna smoke Kevin and you're gonna TP back here with trouble instantly that is a genius plan wow I don't believe that but no I'm literally a controller man I love you but I don't believe it you failed it no that's the way you smoke I mean TP why you're supposed to TP on Hill bye there's people's liking me oh my God 180 frag it was worth it I don't know if we pushed though I'm scared oh the bomb is on-site at least [Music] this guy click on the head and then get a kill and then you win [Music] oh my gosh different gamer reloading two guns at once what a good samaritan gosh she fully dropped the other gun and then started reloading this one he's been done what you're flash you're flash you're right what good oh no I hate everything nah he did not have to do that and he chose to he made the decision to okay well I need revenge for that [Music] nice thank you let me smoke that beautiful beautiful I think we're on the route to win this round is that from over here I have no idea oh my God foreign yes yes he didn't expect it oh no I forgot he's on site he's off it nice simply a beautiful round simply a gorgeous round this resolution is making me different that's all I'm gonna say yes trying to play some Valor in today no I'm trying to confine in you what I this is a CS go [ __ ] unfortunately this guy would be good yeah like flashing people hmm what you mean by that I don't know if I want my therapist saying that that knife looks fire this is to your left turn left [Music] what oh my God what he's just different he's just better nice that jump shot just ended up working that was [ __ ] goofy actually you you just knew it would work you knew that Ash would walk away I believed you had a lot of belief and it was all in the right person why did they ask her what I don't know honestly another benefit is that it just makes your game look a little bit more like it's the stream of a pro player because when I'm on high graphics when I'm on 1440p 16x9 it doesn't look like a pro setup it looks like a guy who wants his game to look good but all Pros want to make their game look as bad as possible for FPS and therefore you have to do that yourself if you want to play like them right smells here okay that was easy this really lips is out one more you 75 man I can't [ __ ] [Music] 75 on the outside it's like a super Defender [Music] no that would have been crazy it was crazy you know that if I had a normal resolution I probably wouldn't have gotten the second kill because my horizontal flicks would not be that sharp not that the player models are giving me an advantage it's just because the confidence it gives I don't know exactly why it gives me confidence other than the fact that good players use stretch resolutions but that's good enough for me don't don't I don't think we have to peeker I I immediately did it right after I said not to do it that's just me I guess [Music] you're outside they're outside you know thank you oh oh no all right you guys you guys can clean it up all right oh short she's short three short one uh cubby k14 oh no shits man I'm on my way okay you're [ __ ] insane he's scared he's [ __ ] scared to [ __ ] dude sorry about that I was going for the ah the two tab not a good idea nice oh you were calling it as you were dying that's crazy it's for a good purpose I I'm not even gonna try and follow him and get the kill because I don't know what kind of skills that man has that I have no understanding of after seeing what he just did there next time boys definitely yeah close close honestly well at least I played pretty well I got mine was relatively on point I got a few nice Clips there so I'd say this method of gaming stretcherez has its place and honestly is actually pretty damn good if you enjoy how it looks if you're not too bothered by the weird UI errors you know some things just not exactly lining up if you're cool with all that stuff which really isn't that bad then I recommend stretch stress it's pretty good for the majority of people though normal resolution is perfectly fine if it was Counter-Strike I'd say it's another story because it actually does give you a little bit of an advantage in that game but uh that's all I got to say about stretch Ras do you use do you not use it let me know in the comments also if you have any questions on it just let me know thank you all so much for watching it's been shakes and have a lovely day don't look at my scoreboard look at the Timeline oh look at this four piece could have been to five but um I'm stupid and bad but yeah peace whoa whoa
