No Raytracing for 4070 RTX Laptop?

[sinsro]

I cannot find any Path Tracing options, too little VRAM on the Laptop version of 4070 (8GB)?

[bruh]

8gb is way too little vram.
the rtx cards on laptops are weaker than desktop rtx cards, you need atleast 12gb vram to run the game

My dude I have a 4090 and it's barely handling that ♥♥♥♥ with dlss and framegen on, the laptop isn't gonna do it.

8gb ain't nearly enough for path tracing, it's not even enough for low rt

[sinsro]

Yeah, thats what I thought. Too bad, I dont mind a "cinematic" low framerate, but not enough VRAM is a dead end.

Way too little VRAM.
You need to go for low-med settings in order to run the game, not to mention PT.

Are you guys for real? My GPU utilizes only at 85% runs at 70c CPUs at 74c~. @ 1080p 60+FPS.
DLLS 0.4 DLLS ray tracing supper sampling on. All all raytracing and path tracing on. Most settings at high. GPU is 4070 8gb at 105w , CPU is 13th gen can't member the model , but goes up to 4.6 boost. Game runs amazing at these settings. Don't need 100fps

Cool story bro, except path tracing is not available in the graphics setting when u got only 8gb vram.

Are you talking about the laptop 4070 or the desktop one?

Laptop GPU chips have been the same that Desktop counterparts for a while now.

I can confirm 4070 RTX laptop only has 8GB RAM, so, not the same as the desktop version of 4070

Path Tracing on a 8GB Vram GPU..
cool story bro. Minimum is a RTX 4070 12GB.

I think it's clear that NVIDIA has went with the 50 series while to them the 40 series is just old tech like the 10 series. Thank God I waited and purchased the 5080 instead of being con into buying the 40 series that comes with a free game.

Cool story bro.
But how does this help with OPs issue?

And BTW: Game works great with 40x0 cards, as long as you've got enough VRAM

I use Path tracing with a Desktop 4070 just need to lower texture pool size to high the game sometimes bugs out and stop rendering frame gen and i need to restart once in awhile but thats it but i think 12gb is the lowest you can run path tracing on because you need DLSS for performance which also eats a fair share of Vram

The game is fine on my RTX2070 8GB (70+fps @ 1080p) and it's fine on any card capable of actual ray tracing so long as you're prepared to compromise on settings/fps.

As for the OP's question they've already had the answer which is their card isn't capable of running it so the game won't give the option, I know this because I played through on a 2070 originally and now have a 4080, the option is there for my current card, isn't for my old one.
