Hi all, would it be a feasible idea to run a non-widescreen game in windowed mode to avoid stretching? Would this give a big performance hit? I was thinking for example Battlefield 2. Thanks. |

I think it would be a lot more feasible to have your video card do aspect scaling. |

Indeed that would be the perfect solution, but unfortunately ATi cards, while more powerful and cheaper than nVidia cards, dont support aspect scaling :( |

The biggest problem to that would be that fewer and fewer games even support windowed modes. |
