NVIDIA also provides a ray tracing fallback for some previous generation graphics cards:

• NVIDIA GeForce GTX
  • Turing generation: GTX 1660 Super, GTX 1660 Ti
  • Pascal generation: GTX 1060 6GB, GTX 1070, GTX 1080, GTX 1080 Ti
• NVIDIA TITAN V
• NVIDIA Quadro: P4000, P5000, P6000, V100

If your computer has one of these graphics cards, it can run ray tracing in Unity.

Before you open Unity, make sure to update your NVIDIA drivers to the latest version, and make sure your Windows version is at least 1809.

Ray tracing is also supported on specific console platforms. Consult console-specific documentation for more information.

You can use the Boolean SystemInfo.supportsRayTracing to check if the current system supports ray tracing. This function checks the operating system, GPU, graphics driver and API.
