CS GO disable screen scaling

Hello, I am having a problem with cs go config in arch.
My monitor native resolution is 1680x1050 (16:10), but in cs go I get used to play with 1024x768(4:3) with black bars.
The thing is that when I set 1024x768(4:3) in game, it is streching to fill the entire screen(no black bars at all) and I don't need that. Is there any option or config setting to prevent streching keeping black bars and retain aspect ratio?
Any help is appreciated.

I was trying add

 Option         "FlatPanelProperties" "Scaling=Centered"

to xorg.conf, but no effect.

Removed Flat Panel Scaling configurability in nvidia-settings. Any desired scaling can be configured through the new "ViewPortIn" and "ViewPortOut" MetaMode attributes.

Re: CS GO disable screen scaling

We require more information about your system.
1. gfx card, chip model, drivers you use.
2. Check the scaling mode with xrandr --prop.

Depending on your setup, you will either have to configure the scaling mode in a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ or use xset to set the scaling mode. Google: xset "scaling mode".

Re: CS GO disable screen scaling

Get it working launching in terminal by hand.
This for desktop:

nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="DFP-1: 1680x1050_120 +0+0"

This when playing cs go:

nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="DFP-1: 1680x1050_120+0+0 { ViewPortIn=1024x768, ViewPortOut=1400x1050+120+0}"

Not comfortable, but can't find more suitable solution atm.
