NVIDIA did a big splash at Computex 2021 with the expected announcement of two new top-end GPUs and quite a big surprise for Linux gaming with the official inclusion of NVIDIA DLSS for Proton.
It’s apparently very necessary for 4K ray tracing. The DLSS massively reduces overhead in the rendering pass, while keeping the textures at an acceptably high level, even when displayed at 4K. The effect on FPS is pretty staggering. I think Linus Tech Tips has a video on it, featuring Cyberpunk.

I know some (edit: 2) people who bought nvidia cards over amd just because of this but I don’t think this will outweigh the negatives for Linux users.

Yep
I would argue that raytracing is about equally as useless
