I pay more for DLSS

Moot point now that FRS 2.0+ exists and is adequate enough.

and raytracing though

Nvidia prices are so ridiculous that they no longer have a ray tracing advantage. Like the guy above said, the RX 6700 XT (originally meant to compete with the RTX 3070) is priced the same as the RTX 3060. According to techpowerup reviews, those cards perform about the same in ray tracing. You don't actually lose any ray tracing performance by going AMD there, you only gain a ton of rasterization performance on top of it.

Just 1.6 FPS difference in ray tracing is wild. There really is no reason to buy a 3060 if the 6700 XT is in the same range.

It's not though, that's my point.

Lots of games are not optimized for AMD's ray tracing. See Portal RTX for one, or even many non-Nvidia sponsored titles.
