Step-by-Step (Quick Guide)
Set your monitor refresh rate (Windows Display settings)
Enable scaling in your GPU control panel
Choose Full-screen scaling (not aspect ratio)
Apply the stretched resolution in Windows (if needed)
Set VALORANT to Fullscreen and select the stretched resolution
Verify it is truly stretched (no bars, wider UI feel)
NVIDIA (Control Panel)
Adjust desktop size and position

Stretched res not available: create a custom resolution in GPU panel
Still black bars: switch scaling mode to Full-screen / Full panel
