I need help understanding how "stretching" a resolution works.

Everything about displays and monitors. 120Hz, 144Hz, 240Hz, 4K, 1440p, input lag, display shopping, monitor purchase decisions, compare, versus, debate, and more. Questions? Just ask!

I need help understanding how "stretching" a resolution works.

I tested two cases with the same monitor.

My monitor's native res is FHD (1080p).



Case A: desktop resolution set to 1024*768, game resolution set to 1024*768

Case B: desktop resolution set to native (1080p), game resolution set to 1024*768



I thought the two would look the same, but in reality Case B is noticeably clearer than Case A.

Can someone explain why this is?
