Bf1 is the only game I have that goes above my native res. I was using 768p on my old monitor, and it let me do 1080p. Now I'm using a 768p tv, but there's no option anymore. Both of these monitors are very old. Anyone know how I can do that, Ty

You have two options, either turn on DSR if you have a recent Nvidia card or VSR if you have a recent AMD card, that will allow you to select higher resolutions that will be downsampled to the resolution of your display. The other option is to use the in-game resolution scaling option, where you set it above 100% or 1.00, which will render the game at a higher resolution and downsample it to your display resolution.

What will running on higher than native resolution do for you? You only have the set number of pixels to look at and you are just lowering the speed the game can run on. Rendering at one resolution and downsampling will act like a good quality AA but will kill your FPS. Just spend $100 on a 1080 monitor. Or even less. New ones can be found for like $80 for a 22" set with rebates or find a used one.

While 1080p would give the better image quality, downsampling 1080p to 786p will still look better than native 786p. It implements supersampling which was basically the first antialiasing technology used.
Then came the much more performance efficient multisampling and was the go-to way of antialiasing for a long time.
Today alot of games dont use "proper" AA anymore and instead are using post filter techniques (FXAA and similar) that have close to no performance hit, but are actually pretty ugly and just blur everything. Fine if needed on low-spec hardware, but if you have the performance, why not use it?

What actually do you mean with "no option", is it not in the menu? Is it changeable? Has it been moved somewhere else? Are you using the in-game option or something you do through the graphics driver? (like downsampling or custom SSAA modes)
You might still be able to activate it in the config file of the game.
