One thing we all love about PC gaming is customizability.<\/p>\n

No matter how big\/small your budget is, there are tons of hardware components you can choose from to build your PC. The same goes for PC monitors where you get a lot of different models based on their screen sizes, resolutions, and aspect ratios.<\/p>\n

This is a big reason why modern titles come with a variety of screen resolution and aspect ratio. <\/p>\n

But what if you want to play an older game (like the ones released prior to 2005) to bring back those childhood memories?<\/p>\n

This is where THE problem lies. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s because 16:9 aspect ratio is the most common among PC monitors while older games usually used to come with 4:3 ratio. This results is the game stretching to the 16:9 ratio and looking horrible.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, both Nvidia and AMD GPUs come with a feature called GPU scaling<\/strong> that allows you to adjust your games\u2019s aspect ratio to that of your monitor, and remove blurred\/stretched frames on the screen.<\/p>\n
