Path Tracer Requirements
To use the Path Tracer feature in real-time in the Viewport, your graphics card must:
Have at least 8 GB of dedicated VRAM
Support DirectX12
To find out if your graphics card supports DirectX12, proceed as follows:
On the Windows taskbar, click the Search icon.
In the search bar, type dxdiag.
