If you are hard-stuck in Silver or Gold in Valorant, your aim might not be the problem. Your visual settings are likely holding you back.

But before you scroll down and copy TenZ’s exact crosshair, there is a massive hidden mechanic about stretched resolution that 90% of lower-rank players completely misunderstand.

1. The Resolution Myth Explained
Unlike Counter-Strike, playing on a “Stretched Resolution” (4:3) in Valorant does not stretch the enemy player models. Riot Games specifically hard-coded the Unreal Engine to prevent this, ensuring all players have the same exact Field of View (FOV).
However, playing on a 4:3 stretched resolution does make your crosshair appear wider and your UI more condensed, which many CS veterans prefer for visual comfort.

If you want to try it to see if it fixes your visual tracking, set your desktop resolution to 1280×960, open Valorant, and set the in-game display to ‘Fill’. Once you have your resolution locked in, it’s time to fix your crosshair.
