Yeah true its still behind and closer to Turing in RT, which is par for course. If you want RT sticking to Nvidia is going to be the best option.

Interestingly, from Hardware Unboxed review, SAM provides huge uplift in performance in Valhalla @16:58 

14% performance increase at 1440P with SAM enabled and 15% at 4k.

Yeah SAM looking like decent uplift just wish they did not limit it to ZEN 3.  I would still choose Nvidia today even if I was on Zen 3 because of ray tracing performance but if AMD was better with SAM I still would have to go NVidia because upgrading CPU is not a option for me.  My computer both my work and my gaming computer.  For work I need ability to kick on multiple VMs for testing stuff so more threads the better.  I am on a threadripper 3970 for that work requirement and I not willing to throw 2k at a 5970 to upgrade to Zen 3 when that come out in 2021 (I assuming it on the way).
