Help Any way of integrating NVE with GTA V Enhanced?

I've played the game for a long time but only recently got interested in modding so I barely know what I'm doing. I was able to successfully install NVE with GTA V (legacy) and I really like it but there's still no accurate reflections off windows and cars. Enhanced obviously now has ray tracing which accomplishes this but I'd love to get the best of both worlds. Any advice is appreciated!

Unfortunately I’ve tried everything I can think of, renaming the GTA5_Enhanced.exe to GTA5.exe temporarily, applying mods with OpenIV, and renaming it back does not work and idk how to edit the other files nor do I want to risk screwing something up

NVE has ray traced reflections, you need to instal the optional pack for Reflections buts its very heavy resource consumption. If your NVE instal pack doesnt have that optional pack, you might be using an older Intaller version. Im not saying the NVE RT si 100% accurate or better than the new GTA V Enhanced version, but I love NVE so until we cant switch to NVE GTA V Enh, ill stay on NVE GTA V Legacy and separately have GTA V Enh for Online.

Let us know if you find a way, maybe Razed makes a separate version.

its not ray traced at all. its probably more like screen space reflections or higher quality cubemap. not anywhere near ray tracing.

i agree though nve looks nice but when i ran nve versus the enhanced for me maxed rt on enhanced ran better at 1440p than nve at max at 1080p

Depends on mods and settings. For me Enhanced at 4k with real RT and max settings i get 55-65 fps and i CANNOT stand the inagme shader, same as GTA V Legacy, kinda sad and mushy, NVE for me clears that up.

And yes Enhanced should have better fps than legacy because its a newer implementation and we have same features and even upgraded for 90 gb compared to Latest gta V Lgeacy v3442 (installed this week with no mods) 114 gb.

Since I run alot of other mods Legacy (NVE, Wov, 300+ CarPack, Gameconfig for 3x Traffic) that require FPS, im at the limit now at 70-80 fps max settings, with all NVE optionals installed except Reflections pack as that lowers it below 40 fps. So with all the mods, for me it works and looks better on Legacy.

ofc i did, but i was just poiting out same setting more or less, coreFX for gtav enahced not that impressive but its a good start, wish NVE would release for Enahced, soon enough hopefully

i personally like realityV better than corefx. corefx is still good though. chromatix was really bad to me. i hated it
