Gears 5 dev: “Having dedicated ray tracing hardware is huge.” But just not on PC

From PCGamesN: "In a studied, deflecting response to questioning about The Coalition’s plans for Gears 5 on the next-gen consoles, studio art director, Colin Penty, has been talking in very excited terms about the potential for ray tracing on the Xbox Scarlett console. It’s just a shame the developers weren’t excited enough to enable ray tracing on the PC version."

Well that definitely confirms Navi 20.

No,that confirms a custom gpu chip and most likely still Navi 10 but with extra cores or enhanced cores dedicated to Ray tracing.

This site should realize that just throwing on raytracing onto a game doesn't immediately make it look better. A game aesthetic design has to be designed with raytracing in mind, and the lighting/shading need to be set up in a way that accommodates the feature for it to really be effective. Just doing loose raytracing makes everything shiny, which can give the appearance of better looking, but as the initial wow factor wears off, it starts to feel more off than it should.

Not that added texture packs or different lighting techniques can't be used with what's already there, just that turning ray tracing on doesn't do anything without the developer setting things up ahead of time. Given that ray tracing isn't widely available even on PC, it doesn't make a lot of sense to really try too hard to get the feature up and running unless they just want to show off.
