The later path tracing updates to classic games Serious Sam and Doom had the 6900XT close to 3070 performance. Now that intel is also in the fray and are said to have better RT hardware, if not on par with nvidia, they can also be used as a benchmark reference. The RTXDI updates to Portal and Cyberpunk have quite poor numbers on AMD and also on intel.
Arc770 goes from being ~50% faster than 2060 to 2060 being 25% faster when you change from RT Ultra to Overdrive.
I benched 6800XT vs 4090 in the old PT updated games and heavy RT games like Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk, and 4090 was close to 3.5x of 6800XT. The problem with AMD this gen is that they lost the clockspeed crown they had last gen and so they have to compete against 4080 in raster while being beaten in RT, instead of 6900XT matching 3070 in RT while outpacing it handily in raster.
It sucks looking at these benchmarks and see how far less features, customisations, official tools, 3rd-party utilities, and support Radeon has compared to GeForce. Overall, I’m glad sticking with GeForce aside from lower default IQ and CQ, of course.

I agree in that I think the hardware difference isn’t that big as people are making it out to be, and AMD won’t catch up on software.
They do have some advantages, eyefinity for which I bought 6800XT and now that driver level FG.
