I’ve been trying to use branched path tracing but whenever I switch to it although it is definitely rendering using bpt I get none of the additional options to controls the samples for the individual rays show up. additionally changing the samples for the options that are there have no effect so it feels like I’m not switching at all.

Are you using OpenCL for your gpu rendering. If so branched path tracing is not supported
See http://blender.org/manual/render/cycles/features.html

Thanks switched it in the settings and it was solved. Should note there is no real reason you shouldn’t be able to access the settings even when it’s using opencl gpu since you could just be switching between them in the render settings.
