Definition

A game with "Full" aspect ratio support is one where it can display correct aspect ratios for 16:10 monitors and 16:9 monitors. That is, the horizontal component of the FOV can be 1.6 (16/10) times greater than the vertical component for 16:10 monitors, or it can be 1.77 (16/9) times greater than the vertical component for 16:9 monitors.

Examples

Half-Life 2 automatically uses the correct aspect ratio based on your resolution.

1280x800
1280x800
1280x720
1280x720

Doom III has a game variable, r_aspectratio, that must be manually set. A value of 2 means 16:10, and a value of 1 means 16:9.

1280x800, r_aspectratio "2"
1280x800, r_aspectratio "2"
1280x720, r_aspectratio "1"
1280x720, r_aspectratio "1"
