Razed Mods has just released Next-Gen Graphics Update #3 for the incredible NaturalVision Enhanced Mod for Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced. This is one of the best graphics mods for GTA 5 Enhanced. So, if you’ve been playing it, I highly recommend trying it.
The NaturalVision Enhanced Mod is a complete visual upgrade mod that takes full advantage of the new ray tracing features. According to the modder, it reworks the game’s weather, lighting, ambient colors, world textures, models, and vegetation. What’s cool here is that Natural Vision Enhanced allows all light sources to cast shadows. This is something that the vanilla game did not feature. As such, it will further enhance the game’s ray-traced shadows. In short, all objects will now cast RT shadows.
NaturalVision Enhanced Next-Gen Graphics Update #3 brings a major visual upgrade to GTA 5 Enhanced. It improves lighting, shadows, water, clouds, vehicles, characters, roads, and more.
The update adds several ray-tracing improvements. These include better lighting, longer light bounce distances, a third light bounce, ray-traced sky lighting, contact shadows, and micro shadows. It also improves ambient occlusion and adds new lighting options to the NVE Graphics menu.
The sky and weather also get big changes. The update adds new volumetric clouds with realistic lighting and shadows. These clouds can also reflect on cars and water. The moon gets a new shading system, lunar phases, and god rays. Sun and sky lighting have also been improved.
Water now has better shading, ripples, refraction, and reflections. Underwater areas also get a new lighting system and better effects.
Vehicles now have better paint, clearcoat, reflections, and lighting. Emergency sirens can also cast shadows and reflect on nearby surfaces. Pedestrians get improved skin, cloth, and material shading.
Roads and the world get several new effects. These include parallax mapping, retroreflective signs, glowing road markings, road glints, and heat haze. The update also adds new hedges and improves vegetation across Los Santos.
Finally, the update adds HDR support and a new G7 tonemapping option. It also includes many bug fixes, performance tweaks, and other small improvements.
Those interested can download the update from its official website. At the end of the article, you can also find a trailer for it.
Speaking of GTA 5 Enhanced, here are some other cool mods for its Enhanced Edition. If you don’t like the visual changes of NaturalVision Enhanced, you can try RealityV and ChromatiX Enhanced. In July 2025, we also shared a mod that makes fights with NPCs more fun and diverse.
Then we have the Drive V Mod. Drive V overhauls the physics of all vehicles, bringing a more realistic driving system. Thanks to it, every car or vehicle feels different to drive. Each one has its own physics, so they don’t all handle the same. So, if you want a more realistic driving system, you should give it a go.
Next is this one, which improves the quality of all the main characters. Moreover, you can use this addon pack with it, which adds 40 new cars to the game.
Finally, for our RTX-50 series readers, we have this mod that allows you to enable DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Gen. Sadly, though, it is behind a Patreon wall. From what I know, NVIDIA and Rockstar do not have any plans to add DLSS 4 MFG to the game as of yet. So, that’s kind of a bummer.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
