The A750 beats the RTX 3060 in Cyberpunk, Control, and Metro Exodus. All Nvidia sponsored titles. In Metro it beats the 3060ti. The main reason is probably because their cards have the RT hardware that was initially meant to compete with GPUs 1 level above what they ended up being. the A770 is a current 3060ti competitor, with the RT hardware meant to originally compete with a 3070ti.

But I don't think it matters what generation AMD or Nvidia, or any of them are on. It's not that AMD couldn't build hardware from day 1 that could compete in RT. It's that they viewed it to be a waste of space, so they did the bare minimum with RDNA2 to be compatible. Spending 10% more on a die is going to cut into your margins a lot, unless you also increase the price of the GPU.

It's been a conscious decision for years, not a failed effort.
