Upcoming GTA 5 mod makes the game nearly photo-realistic

By

The remastered PC version of GTA V  looks great on its own, but an unreleased mod shown off in the below video does a good job of making it look even more real, as noted by VG247.

There was a long gap between the release of Grand Theft Auto 5 on consoles and PC. In fact, there was even a new version of the game released for Xbox One and PS4 before the PC version even came out. Gamers were looking forward to the PC release for a multitude of reasons, but one of the biggest was the potential for mods.

Some mods change gameplay, and these are great, but the real crazy stuff happens in the form of graphical overhauls, and an individual named Martin Bergman is bringing one to GTA V on PC called ToddyEnhancer .

The major overhaul mod in Grand Theft Auto IV was called iCEnhancer, and it made GTA IV look absolutely fantastic. It altered the lighting, color, and in-game graphics and made the game look far newer than it actually was.

Grand Theft Auto V: Toddyhancer test (WIP)

This new mod uses Reshade Shaders, ENB series tweaks, and tone mapping to enhance the look of Grand Theft Auto V. As you can see in the video above, this mod makes the game look extremely close to real life. The framerate suffers a little in the video above, but Martin Bergman says the video was recorded on a computer that was being pushed a little too hard.

The mod is not available yet, and the creator didn’t announce a final release date, but hopefully it comes along soon, because it really does look downright gorgeous. If you want to see more, check out the gallery above, which shows the graphics of the mod, albeit from an older build.

How to sell cars in GTA 5

There are a lot of ways to make money in the world of Grand Theft Auto V, but none are more apt that stealing and selling cars. Not only is it a pastime befitting its namesake, it's also a fun way to earn a few bucks while roaming the streets of Los Santos. There's just one way to sell cars in GTA 5, but thankfully, offloading your stolen goods is a very straightforward process.
Steal a car
Before you can even think about selling a vehicle, you're going to have to get your hands on one. Common cars will sell for at least $1,000 each, but it's worth your time to seek out expensive luxury and sports cars. Here's a good rule of thumb to follow -- the nicer the car looks, the more valuable it usually is. We've had good luck finding expensive vehicles on the streets around Rockford Hills, but head to any upscale shopping area and you're bound to see a few.

Once you've found your vehicle of interest, simply hijack or hot-wire it and evade the police. Try to do as little damage to it as possible, since cars in better condition fetch a higher price. Most of the time, you can simply speed down the road and find a quiet hiding spot in an alley to shake the low-effort manhunt. As soon as the coast is clear and you have no stars, you're ready to offload your new ride.

The fastest cars in GTA 5

Half the fun of Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online is cruising around Los Santos in lightning-fast supercars. There's no shortage of incredible vehicles available to players, but trying to figure out which is the fastest isn't as straightforward as you'd think. Some might dominate in a drag race, yet end up in a ditch if you put them on a winding track. Others might excel around hairpin turns, but lack in overall horsepower. The following list is based strictly on each car's top speed, as trying to rate other traits -- such as handling and cornering abilities -- is highly subjective and up to personal preference. While we eagerly await a new fleet of cars to steal and race in Grand Theft Auto 6, here are the 10 fastest cars in Grand Theft Auto V.
