It can do software based RT just like every other modern GPU out there.

In 2023, RX 5700 performs equally or better than the RTX 2060 Super/2070. The 5600XT is more like a 2060 competitor.
Either the game runs like shit on AMD hardware, or the system requirements are wrong and they just write down the components that they tested with.
Another thing is that the game is doing software based RT by default and that might be the reason why the AMD GPUs suffer more compared to their Nvidia counterparts.
I’ve seen AMD in a much worse state when it was 2-3 generations behind Nvidia in terms of performance. Now AMD competes in raster performance and is just 2 generations behind in terms of RT performance. It’s just a matter of time and luck that they’ll catch up. One thing that AMD is really trying to do right now is make their software solutions better. It’s not perfect when compared to NVIDIA but it’s infinitely better than a decade ago. Building a robust software stack takes time, and AMD sure is taking theirs, which I have no issues with.
What they really do need to focus on is productivity workloads. Without that, AMD will always stay second to NVIDIA.
You don’t need RT hardware to do software RT. That’s what I’m saying.
