NVIDIA wasn't obsessed with gaming dominance during the development of Turing GPUs; they didn't give a fuck about one-upping AMD because they already won.
That was already the time when Jensen pivoted the company to an AI GPU development firm, against his board's wishes.

NVIDIA's workstation customers needed a GPU with hardware-accelerated ray tracing performance, that is the main reason why Turing GPUs had RT cores in them.
The GeForce team developed real-time ray tracing & DLSS to make use of the RT & Tensor cores in the Turing GPU.
That's better than completely disabling the RT & Tensor cores.

RT & DLSS weren't developed to set AMD back; NVIDIA's workstation customers needed hardware-accelerated RT performance.
NVIDIA developed RTX & DLSS for gamers to make use of that existing hardware, as they don't waste money designing a dedicated gaming GPU.
This is how UDNA is going to be designed for Radeon.

The industry is in agreement regarding RT anyway. Even Nintendo is patenting RT rendering.
