The best Valorant True Stretched Resolution tool for NVIDIA and AMD. Get true stretched res in 2026 without input lag in ONE CLICK.
- Sets a custom stretched resolution (e.g. 1440x1080) in Valorant's config files before the game launches
- Optionally applies a performance-focused
GameUserSettings.initemplate that disables shadows, reduces input latency settings, and enables multithreaded rendering - Disables selected monitors in Device Manager before Valorant starts, preventing the game from hard-locking to your monitor's native 16:9 aspect ratio
- Restores your native desktop resolution automatically within a few seconds of closing Valorant
- Creates a desktop shortcut so the whole process is one double-click
- Windows 10 or 11
- Python 3.10+ (if running from source)
- Valorant installed via the Riot Client
SetScreenResolution.exeplaced in the same folder asStretchyVal.exe(or the script)
If you have an AMD GPU click here and follow those steps first, then resume setup.
- Run Valorant vanilla first if you haven't so your configs are created
- IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS MAKE SURE RIOT CLIENT IS OPEN AND LOGGED IN BEFORE LAUNCHING STRETCHYVAL
- Run
StretchyVal.exe(orStretchyVal.pyif using source) - Enter your desired stretch resolution width and height (default: 1440x1080)
- Check or uncheck Apply Performance Upgrade depending on your preference
- Under Disable these monitors before launching Valorant, check the monitor(s) you want disabled (unless you have two pcs connected for streaming or recording you should select them all) — this is what allows the stretch to work without Valorant overriding it
- Click Install & Apply and accept the UAC prompt
- Done — a shortcut called StretchyVal will appear on your desktop. You can use this to open Valorant from now on (I don't even have the official shortcut on my desktop anymore), and if you want to revert the settings, just renable your monitors in device manager and launch Valorant from the official launcher, from there you can edit your settngs like vanilla.
From now on, just double-click the shortcut instead of launching Valorant directly.
If you want to change resolutions delete the shortcut and redo the setup launcher
If you want to stop playing stretched turn your Monitors back on in Device Manager, Unistall Valorant, Delete the VALORANT FOLDER in %localappdata%, and reinstall Valorant
DO BOTH STEPS BEFORE STRETCHYVAL SETUP
AMD — Adding a Custom Resolution:
-
Right-click the desktop → AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition
-
Click the Setting Gear in the top right
-
Click the Display tab at the top
-
Scroll down and click Custom Resolutions
-
Click + Create New
-
Enter your desired Width (e.g. 1440) and Height (e.g. 1080)
-
Leave refresh rate at your monitor's native rate or lower if it won't work.
-
Set Timing Standards to CVT or DMT.
-
Click Save — the screen will briefly go black to test it
-
If compatible, it saves as a preset under Custom Resolutions
-
Now you can input that resolution into the StretchyVal Setup Launcher
AMD — GPU Scaling (to prevent black bars):
-
In AMD Software, go to the Display tab Find GPU Scaling and toggle it On
-
Set Scaling Mode to Full Panel Click Apply
Valorant detects your connected monitors on launch and uses their native aspect ratio to lock display settings. By temporarily disabling the monitor(s) in Device Manager before the game starts, Valorant cannot read the native aspect ratio and will respect the resolution set in the config file instead.
Important: The monitors are disabled at install time and stay disabled while you use the launcher. Disabling a monitor in Device Manager does not affect your ability to see or use your screen — it only hides the device from software that queries it. You will not notice any visual difference.
If you stop using StretchyVal or uninstall it, you need to manually re-enable your monitors in Device Manager:
- Right-click the Start button → Device Manager
- Expand the Monitors section
- Right-click each disabled monitor → Enable device
When enabled, the tool writes a custom GameUserSettings.ini with the following applied:
- All quality settings set to minimum (shadows, textures, effects, foliage, etc.)
- Multithreaded rendering enabled
- Mouse smoothing and acceleration disabled
- Frame rate smoothing disabled
- Low-latency sync settings
This is aimed at maximising frame rate and input responsiveness on competitive settings. If you prefer to manage your in-game settings manually, uncheck this option during setup.
StretchyVal monitors the Valorant process in the background after launch. When both VALORANT.exe and VALORANT-Win64-Shipping.exe are no longer running, it automatically restores your native desktop resolution within a few seconds.
You do not need to keep any window open. The background process exits on its own after restoring.
pip install pyinstaller pywin32
pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole --icon=redyellow.ico --add-data "SetScreenResolution.exe;." --add-data "redyellow.ico;." StretchyVal.pyThe output will be in the dist/ folder.
This tool makes the following changes to your system:
- Saves native resolution data to
Documents\StretchyVal\native_res.json - Modifies
GameUserSettings.iniinside your Valorant local app data folder - Disables selected monitor devices via
pnputil.exe(built into Windows) - Creates a desktop shortcut
No data is collected, transmitted, or stored outside your local machine. The full source code is available in this repository for review.
- Only tested with Valorant. Not designed for other games.
- Monitor re-enable after uninstall is a manual step (see above)
Built to solve a real problem. Monitors are disabled using pnputil.exe, a Microsoft-signed tool built into Windows. Resolution switching uses SetScreenResolution.exe by 4r5t6y7 or equivalent. Logo by u/Odeuo https://www.reddit.com/user/Odeuo/.
