Modder ‘KBase’ has released a new graphics mod for Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced. This mod, called AuraV, brings path-traced lighting and shadows, as well as some new graphics features. So, let’s take a closer look at it.
AuraV Enhanced is a graphics mod for Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced on PC. It adds many new visual effects to make the game look better than ever.
The mod adds path-traced light and shadows. Light can now bounce off walls and other surfaces. Streetlights and bright signs also cast ray-traced shadows. Not only that, but the mod also adds ray-traced reflections. Plus, NVIDIA DLSS Ray Reconstruction can help make these effects look even better.
The mod also adds a new sky, volumetric clouds, and a more realistic atmosphere. Ocean waves now react to the wind. Rain, lightning, thunder, smoke, and heat haze also get an upgrade. Skin lighting has been improved as well. You can even see rain on the camera lens.
It’s also worth noting that you can change the mod’s settings while playing. All you have to do is press F10 to open the menu, and then adjust its settings.
Those interested can download the mod from here. 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 for some reason you don’t like the visual changes of AuraV, you can try NaturalVision Enhanced, 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!
