It was obvious that another iteration of the same solution wouldn't work, so it's good news that they've gone with something new. Let's hope it delivers.

On another note, why do you always count RDNA the same as RT architectures for AMD? While the first RDNA cards came later than Nvidia's Turing, there was no way AMD could have designed and integrated hardware ray tracing into an already existing architecture during those months. The first foray into hardware based RT from AMD happened with the second gen RDNA cards, the 6000 series.

Imo they should have implemented RT hardware with RDNA 1 since they knew Turing had them. Instead they decided to forgo that for a Raster only iteration with the excuse that it's too soon for RT to be meaningful in games and that they will release RT capable gpu when it is. So I count that as Radeon had the option of adding RT hardware to RDNA 1 but decided not to based on their own judgment.

I can't say that I agree with your point of view, but at least now I have an answer to my question.
