Definitely can! I've been playing around with ray tracing on my Steam Deck and it's pretty cool. You just have to manage your expectations and settings. Not like a full-blown gaming rig, but still impressive for such a small device.

Yep, the Steam Deck can handle ray tracing, but it's kinda like putting a V8 engine in a go-kart. Sure, it can do it, but don't expect miracles. The hardware can run games with ray tracing enabled, but given the device's limited power compared to a high-end gaming PC, you might need to tweak settings for an optimal experience.
