Ray tracing and DLSS 2/3 most probably yes. They are behind in ray tracing simply because they use compute shaders for ray tracing. Only they get full blown ray tracing cores I think they will perform similar.

Same with DLSS 2/3. There is a precedent for this. XESS was able to get pretty close to DLSS within an year. All AMD has to do is use machine learning for upscaling.

The biggest issue for AMD is not these features. But the fact that NVIDIA keeps introducing new features. So everytime AMD could catch up with one Nvidia Would have probably introduced 2 more.

And much of this is because AMD has been a follower, not a leader despite having the market share in consoles.

Nvidia has gone from "cool features but not many use them" to "gamers want these extra features" in only a few years. That doesn't happen if you are happy to just follow.

Market share != innovation

gamers are the most gullible bastards known to man. they'll always want the newest blinky shinies, if you tell them they need it. Especially, when companies have an edge with that tech over others, because then it's marketed extra heavily.
