4:3 stretched 60hz not worth it?

[Big a tous S]

Hi guys just wondering if playing 4:3 stretched on 16:9 monitor with 60hz is worth it? i really like stretched 4:3 resolution but most of the players use 4:3 with a higher refresh rate (120hz or 144hz) my monitor won't go higher than 60hz sadly :\ , anyway my question is: 4:3 stretched resolution with 60hz will limit my skill capacity?

no idea, I have a laptop and I play stretched 4:3

1920x1080 is really hard to aim so im playing 1280x1024 stretched on 16:9 monitor
basically most of pro players playing on that settings

Yes i know but they play with a 120/144hz monitor, and my monitor won't go higher than 60hz , so i think i can't take full advantage of using stretched resolution , im not sure

My pc is good , 200fps constantly , but the monitor sucks 60hz :\

Most pros play 1024 x 768 black bars, just saying.

near as i can tell it's all about how you're comfortable playing, regardless of what the pros do (excluding v-sync, lower FPS, etc.) i'm just a silver but i play at 16:9 and it works

4:3 seems alot more easy to detect enemies , but feels like the player models move way faster than 16:9 , and they are way more fat xD

you can move your FOV in a little bit and then it's easier to see since your model's arms are farther back- it doesn't change anything else, you still have the same range of sight, the arms are just farther to the sides

The stretch is only for the larger hitboxes. The Hz for uptade frequenzy. Simply put it. So I don't see any issues playing stretched for you. Im not confortable with stretched myself so I don't use it.

As long as you don't get terrible screen tear I don't see any problem.

it limits some vision spots , i heard some people that its possible to overclock a 60hz monitor to 75hz , but im not willing to take that risk

[ithie]

The hz and aspect ratio are two enteriely different things in my world. It's true that you'll might lose out on some vision playing with stretched but that is not due to any HZ. It's due to the fact that you play stretched, eg zoomed in.

If you are talking about black bar issues there's several guides on how to force the gfx to display a stretched res.

Some monitors will support a 75 HZ refresh rate at specific lower resolutions. You just have to try lower resolutions until it lets you use 75 HZ, but don't force it.

then you need a better monitor, or just limit your fps to 120 since over a certain amount, your monitor won't be able to keep up, and even if it says 200 fps, you will only be seeing 120 or so fps (and don't start with the "but your eyes can't see more than 30 fps" argument)
