I think testing with Ray Tracing turned off is a big oversight. Most people who buy these cards will be using ray tracing features, otherwise why would you even need to buy a RTX 3080/6800XT for, unless you are in the minority trying to achieve super high FPS? Just buy a cheaper card if you're not using Ray Tracing and save your money towards your next upgrade. TPU benchmarks should be reflective of how people will most likely be using these high end cards and that's with Ray Tracing features turned on and all the graphical settings set to max. These benchmarks aren't reflective of how most high end graphic card owners myself included would use their cards.
I don't run ray tracing -- anyone running 4k 120-144Hz needs at least a 6800 or 3080 to do so. Ray tracing isn't worth the hit in FPS for most people. Virtually anyone running an LG CX (a very popular gaming display) or any of the newer 4k displays is running these cards without RT.
