Hi! I hope that this is the right place to ask this kind of question

So, I'm trying to play CSGO and Valorant on -more or less- the same feeling switching between the two.

I do this by, in CS, playing on 1810 x 1080, which makes the FOV in-game roughly the same as Valorant's (~103 degrees).

However, since I play Valorant, Kovaaks, Aim Lab, etc. on 1920 x 1080p, with the FOV locked to 103...

My questions are as follows:

Should I play with CS stretched, or with black bars, to best match the FOV? Or should I switch Kovaaks / Aim Lab / Valorant to 1810 x 1080 black bars? Should I play with them all at 1810 x 1080, stretched? Is there a difference?

I use MDV0 to match my sensitivities between games, if that's relevant to anyone's answers (also, I know that it doesn't really practically matter to aiming skills, but I am very curious about these FOV mechanisms & how they impact things)

Thank you so much in advance for helping me better understand

 

Edit:

 

Another question comes from the fact that, in Aim Lab or Kovaaks, when I set my FOV to 103 under "Valorant", the FOV feels significantly different than when I set my FOV to 103 with "CSGO". Why would this be?

From myself, I can offer a lecture on "Mouse sensitivity and its dependence on FOV in games" Lecture in russian language, watch with subtitles. It also contains the answer to your question.

They use different FOV types, Valorant is based on 16:9 aspect ratio, CSGO is based in 4:3
