If you have, then open Intel's graphics control panel by right clicking on desktop. Then >Display>Scaling>Select Fullscreen (check the override option if you encounter any problems).

It worked on my cheap laptop ;)

Put a 4:3 resolution in cs:go then go to your nvidia control panel, Adjust desktop size and position. Scaling--Full screen.

How to play 4:3 with or without black bars
  1. Open your nVidia Control Panel and go to "Adjust desktop size and position" (if you have an AMD video card, search for "GPU scaling", "Screen scaling" or something along the lines). Now change the radio button to "Full-Screen". Also tick "Override the scaling mode set by games and programs" and Apply.

  2. Open this file: [steaminstallationfolder]\Steam\userdata\[userid]\730\local\cfg\video.txt

    Search for the following line:
    "setting.aspectratiomode" "1" // 0 = 4:3, 1 = 16:9, 2 = 16:10
    Select "0" if you have a 16:9 screen and want the 4:3 aspect ratio to stretch without black bars.

    Side note: If you do want black bars, set it to the native aspect ratio of your monitor, most likely that's "1" (16:9).

    Now change the resolution (is has to be one that CS:GO is supporting):
    "setting.fullscreen" "1" // must be set to fullscreen "setting.defaultres" "1280" // this is the width "setting.defaultresheight" "960" // this is the height (d'uh)
    Many select a height of 1024 instead of the mathematically correct 960 pixels in 4:3, which respresents the highest possible resolution for 4:3 in-game. It stretches the image even further horizontally when in full-screen mode. Some pros, like FalleN, however prefer a correct 4:3 aspect ratio and therefore have selected a height of "960".
You are done.

Yes, apparently this is not doable on cheap notebooks. Sorry about that.
