Unfortunately since the Preview version of UE5, Epic has disabled emulated raytracing console variable which allowed Pascal GPUs to use hardware ray tracing. Fortunately, there is a way to work around this, you have to recompile the engine from source with a slight change to one of its files, the steps are described in this thread reply: [Cant enable raytracing in ue5 (gtx 1060) - #24 by Julian\_Stys](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/cant-enable-raytracing-in-ue5-gtx-1060/231479/24)
