I’m checking if your monitor can switch to a 1440p display when it sees one. You mentioned you have a GTX 970, which should handle the upgrade, but I want to confirm whether upscaling from 1080p actually works smoothly on your setup.
If your monitors' native resolution is 1440p, it will proceed accordingly.
Activate DSR in the Nvidia Control Panel, navigate to CS:GO video settings, and select 2560x1440. This ensures your GPU renders the game at 1440p and downscales to 1080p.
The issue is that DSR won't appear as native resolution, so if possible, upgrade to a higher resolution monitor.
