How To Get Stretched Res On Fortnite Chapter 3

Want to See Fortnite in a Whole New Way?

Ever felt like your Fortnite game looks a little... squished? Well, there's a fun little trick to change that. It's called using stretched resolution, or stretched res for short.

Think of it like looking through a slightly different window. The image gets wider, and things can get interesting. Trust me, it's worth a peek!

Time to Tweak Those Settings

First up, head into your Nvidia Control Panel if you have an Nvidia graphics card. It's usually hiding down in your system tray. Find it and give it a click!

Next, look for "Adjust desktop size and position". Found it? Great! You're on your way to Fortnite glory.

Now, select "Full-screen" under "Scaling". This is super important, so double-check it. Make sure "Override the scaling mode set by games and programs" is checked too. This is the key to making it work.

Then, navigate to "Change resolution." You'll see a list of resolutions. The magic happens here.

Click "Customize" and then "Create Custom Resolution". This is where you input the special numbers.

The Numbers Game

This is where you'll enter your desired stretched res. Some popular choices include 1440x1080, 1600x1080, or even 1720x1080. Experiment and see what feels best for you!

Type in your width and height. Don't worry too much about the other settings for now. Just hit "Test" to see if it works.

If your screen goes wonky for a second and then comes back, congrats! You've created your custom resolution. If not, double-check those numbers.

AMD Users, Don't Despair!

Got an AMD graphics card? No problem! The process is similar, just in a different location.

Open your AMD Radeon Software. You can usually find it by right-clicking on your desktop.

Go to the "Display" tab, then find "Custom Resolutions". You'll see a button to create a new one.

Just like with Nvidia, enter your desired width and height. Test it out and save if it works!

Fortnite, Here We Come!

Now, launch Fortnite! Head to the in-game settings. Look for the "Video" tab.

Under "Resolution," you should now see your custom resolution listed! Select it, apply the changes, and brace yourself.

Your game should now look wonderfully stretched. Things might look a little different, but give it a try.

Sometimes the stretched res can cause black bars. You may need to go back to your graphic driver settings and change the scaling mode.

Why Bother? It's All About the Fun!

So, why would you want to do this? For many players, stretched res makes the game feel faster and more responsive. Some say it even makes targets appear larger and easier to hit!

It's also just a cool way to customize your game and make it feel unique. It can definitely spice up your Fortnite experience. It is all about fun!

Experiment with different resolutions to find the one that suits you best. You might be surprised at how much of a difference it makes.

Just remember to have fun with it. Don't be afraid to experiment and see what works for you. Good luck and happy gaming!
