This 4K Textures Mod For GTA V Is Stunningly Realistic

01 Dec 2015

You really do have to study these images for a moment to see that they are in fact not real. Yep, they’re all GTA V screen grabs, but with a difference: this is what the game looks like after a mod called “The Pinnacle of V” - built by Josh Romito - is installed.

Actually, the word ‘mod’ doesn’t really adequately cover the changes, which are extensive. On the graphics alone, all of the different weather settings have been completely re-done, puddles are now said to be ‘photorealistic’, the particle effects edited, reflections improved, 4K textures added and a hell of a lot more.

It goes further than just the graphics, too: all weapon audio has been replaced, the population of Los Santos boosted in key areas, the vehicle handling reworked and in-game ‘relationships’ edited to make the city seem more vibrant and interesting. Hell, even the guns now have realistic recoil, plus proper muzzle flash effects. This is just scratching the surface of the full list of features, which you can see here.

Make sure you head over to Pinnacle of V’s website to check out the full gallery, and - if you have a copy of GTA V for PC - download the mod.

For those saying “The video is lagging”. Ofcourse it will but its not that laggy when he’s playing it when the recording software like FRAPS isn’t hogging his resources.

So I showed my brother the picture of the building and he’s like no way in hell thats GTA 5, its a picture of a building in real life and then I showed him the video and I swear I saw water in his eyes :)

Let me see how i can run that with old Phenom 3X with 2.3 GHz (unlocked 4th core and runing 3.4 GHz) and GTX 750 Ti.

kinda looks like burnout paradise during daytime

lol my world exactly!!

I dont doubt the creator put a lot of work into this, but on high settings the game still looks really good. This looks like a dark ENB with glossy surfaces to me.
