How to Change CS:GO Resolution Without Launching the Game
Best answer

You can also change it directly in the config file if the launch options method isn't your cup of tea. Find the config.cfg file in your CS:GO folder (usually in the 'csgo' folder within your Steamapps common directory). Open it with a text editor and add (or modify) the lines 'mat_setvideomode (width) (height) 0' - replace '(width)' and '(height)' with your desired resolution. Remember, always backup your config file before making changes!

Messing with config files? Risky business, just stick to in-game settings.

Easy peasy! Just right-click on CS:GO in your Steam library, go to 'Properties,' then click 'Set Launch Options.' Here, you can type in '-w (width) -h (height)' to set your desired resolution. For example, '-w 1920 -h 1080' for 1080p. Hit 'OK,' and you're set for the next time you launch the game!
