i want black bars for valorant what to do?

my monitor is native 4k and Id like for black bars to fill the space. when i use windowed i can see the background of my other apps and its really distracting. At the same time i cant use no scaling in nvidia control panel, because it will apply to all games which i dont want.

the only way i fouiund out how to do it is to use "no scaling" in nvidia control panel, but it applies to all games so when i want to turn down res i get the black bars

Jidat•2/1/25, 4:35 AM

I have always seen people coming here to get rid of the black bars they are getting. But this is the first time i see someone WANTING to have the black bars
