I use 800x600 fullscreen resolution to help boost my framerate. While I don't mind the scaling, I dislike being limited to a 4:3 aspect ratio. Ideally I would like to play at a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is the aspect ratio of my monitor (native resolution 1600x900).
There are several resolutions for 16:9 aspect ratios within the in-game options, but all of them are too large and cause a noticeable impact on my framerate (the smallest option being 1280x600). I know that I can set virtually any resolution in windowed mode, but it will not fill the screen and would cause lower performance than fullscreen mode.
Is there a way to either A) have a custom fullscreen resolution (e.g. 854x480) or B) stretch windowed mode to fill the screen?

in your launch options you can try -w 654 -h 480

open your video card's control panel. for nvidia, under "display" there's a "change resolution" tab. theres a button for "customize..." where you can make a custom resolution which tf2 will recognize for fullscreen mode

Have you checked with benchmarks to verify that that resolution is actually helping your FPS?

It worked (even for my integrated Intel GPU, which is kinda suprising)! Thanks guys, you're amazing.
glissin your launch options you can try -w 654 -h 480
Didn't work, just defaulted to 640x480. Not to mention it wouldn't have been much of a difference anyways. Nice idea though.
stabbyHave you checked with benchmarks to verify that that resolution is actually helping your FPS?
Yes I have, although the results of the benchmarks show a pretty insignificant difference (~5 average FPS). I have, however, also noticed overheating when using 1280x720 resolution, whereas I have not had that happen with 800x600 resolution using the same 66 FPS cap in both scenarios.

hi if u like more fps (gpu) use 16 bit mode on windows and launch tf2, but just working on fullscreen mode.I don't recommend if u play sniper because scope pixelated.

That^ really shouldn't provide any frames :(
