It wont detect my GPU even though its under system preferences. I have rtx 570 4th gen and it doesn't show up under devices and when I set it to render under GPU it doesn't change and stays with the CPU.

I have the feeling you have downloaded the wrong package, have you downloaded from here (

Did you try to do a final render? Your screenshot only shows the viewport, which by default uses the CPU even when you set GPU for final renders.
By the way the LuxCore GPU API settings are in the addon user preferences, the Blender/Cycles setting is not used by BlendLuxCore.
