With hardware acceleration disabled and simply relying on the Software DXR fallback layer, the AMD Radeon RX 6000 graphics card scored 34 FPS.
With hardware acceleration enabled & making full use of the newly added Ray Accelerator cores, the AMD Radeon RX 6000 series graphics card saw a 13.8x speedup. The same RDNA 2 graphics card scored 471 FPS in the application which is a huge uplift in performance.
Comparing to NVIDIA's first generation ray-tracing implementation, the GeForce RTX 2080 scores around 308 FPS. This means that the AMD RDNA 2 based Radeon RX 6000 series graphics card scores a 50% lead over NVIDIA's first generation RTX graphics card. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti scores around 390 FPS which puts the AMD Radeon RX 6000 graphics card 20% ahead.

AMD's subreddit posted the score of his stock ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 TUF Gaming graphics card which delivered 630 FPS in the same benchmark. This shows the 2nd Generation RT cores at around 33% faster than AMD's 1st Gen Ray Accelerator cores.
We still don't know which graphics card was used for this comparison as the RDNA 2 lineup includes the
60 RA RX 6800, 72 RA RX 6800 XT and the
80 RA 6900 XT graphics card.
There's a lot that needs to be discussed about AMD's ray tracing implementation and we hope AMD provides us more details in the future prior to the embargo lift which should be sometime in the coming month.
