Enabling black bars in CS:GO is a classic move for those nostalgic vibes or if you're just into that aspect ratio. Here's how: First, you gotta dive into your graphics card settings. If you're team NVIDIA, open NVIDIA Control Panel, go to 'Adjust desktop size and position', select 'Aspect ratio' and then check 'Perform scaling on: Display', followed by selecting 'Override the scaling mode set by games and programs'. Apply and bada bing, you're set. For the AMD squad, open Radeon Settings, head to 'Display', and enable 'GPU Scaling' followed by 'Maintain aspect ratio'. Apply and voila, black bars achieved. Remember to tweak your in-game resolution settings in CS:GO to match the vibes!

Totally agree with the detailed instructions above, but wanna add that playing with black bars really helped me focus better on the center of the action. Plus, it kinda gives that pro feel, you know? Retro but cool.
