Even with no mods GTA 5 can look amazing on PC
If all the GTA 5 PC mods fun hadn't convinced you already, perhaps these astonishing images from Reddit user InterventX will have you throwing your console over your shoulder in disgust. Created in Director Mode with no mods, these screens were taken on a PC with an i7 processor and a GTX 780 3GB graphics card. With rabbits and deer in forest shots that look like Center Parcs adverts, the gallery above shows exactly why it took an extra 18 months for GTA 5 to come to PC. It took a lot of mods to get Skyrim to look this pretty but GTA 5 might have it hands down with these shots. You can download them as wallpapers here.
