2 monitors, how do I make 4:3 work on one, and 16:9 on the other?

[EMIL]

Graphics card is gtx 770 so I have nvidia control panel.
I want to be able to play CS:GO in 4:3 (stretched) on my main monitor while watching streams or something in 16:9 on the other. But right now the 16:9 monitor just glitches and kind of displays only half of everything when I'm in-game at 4:3 on the main monitor. Is it possible to fix that somehow?

Put your game in Windowed Mode; then both monitors will work as intended

Why 4:3 stretched; that's horrible. Are both displays 16:9?
Just put the game to lower res then. Overall, u can have each display have it's own resolution.

You don't make a video card output two different resolutions to two different monitors. That's not how it works.,

This is a very simple fix, I bet your monitor is on your right, if you set it so it is on your left it fixes that. You can download a software on Steam as well but the simplest way to do it is by not even moving your monitor but setting it in your control pannel so it is on your left.

If it is set on your right everything moves when you launch a game, when it is on your left everything is how you want it.

Then you probably have scaling options set to make it work.

[_I_]

you can run different monitors at different res
as long as windows and gpu control panel are configured to do that

can you watch streams on the 4:3 and game on the 16:9
set the 16:9 to primary in windows desktop and gpu control panel

[_I_]

as long as the game runs at the monitors native res it will be fine
with 2 monitors you wont be runnign nv surrournd or amd affinity since the split line will be near the middle of the 2 monitors

Perfectly possible, am doing it right now. 1920x1080 (primary) + 1280x1024 (secondary) (the secondary is to the right of the primary).

@OP, I don't think you're experiencing a glitch, it's that the desktop (both monitors) are treated as an "extended display", not two separate monitors. Not sure if it's possible to configure it the way it needs to be in order to work.

i love you so much, this totally worked
now i have to get used to moving left to access the second monitor, but id rather do that than experience hell when playing cs; thanks!
