AMD will not implement DirectX ray tracing until all of its models, from low-end to high-end, can support it

In an interview with 4Gamer, AMD’s Senior Vice President of Engineering for Radeon Technologies Group, David Wang, revealed that the red team will not implement DirectX ray tracing until all of its GPUs are capable of supporting it.
This basically means that, unlike NVIDIA, AMD will support DXR when this tech has been established and when more developers will be using it. Moreover, and again contrary to NVIDIA, AMD will add support for it in all of its generational models; from low-end to high-end.

I am actually okay with this.

Well, on one hand, this move will allow them to focus on improving the performance of their chips, trying to catch up with Nvidia.

But on the other hand, this will give an advantage to Nvidia because developers will get used to work on Ray Tracing effects through Nvidia's software, potentially creating another PhysX scenario.
