Shouldnt the 7900xt be in tier D?

And shouldnt the RX 7900 GRE be in tier E?

From the latest rankings here, that seems pretty clear:

I use several sources to make a decision, and one of the other sources I use still reinforces the position of where they currently are.

The biggest difficulty is that by assigning "tiers" rather than a position on a graph, you inherently have to group cards together. Some of the tiers are particularly odd in that there might be 15% difference between the "top" and "bottom" cards in a tier, but yet they are probably only 2-3% faster or slower than the cards in the next tier up or down... you have to draw a line somewhere.
The 7900XT and 7900GRE probably fall into that trap too, as the 7900XT is definitely the slowest card in Tier C, but probably has enough of a jump over cards in Tier D that it feels wrong to be there.

Great list and very helpful!

If you’re looking to upgrade, is a 1 tier jump worth it? Me personally, I would look for at least 2 tiers before deciding to upgrade, depending on price of course

Yeah I would say at least 2 tiers and in a lot of cases 3 or more.

If you're in tier f for instance I'd want to go upto tier c for it to be a meaningful difference

Yeah 2 is a minimum I feel for it to be a meaningful jump, 1 tier in most cases seems a little underwhelming
 
Personal view is 3-4 tiers if you are somewhere in the middle of the list. If you are nearer the top then 2-3 tiers should be your aim.

The only 1 tier move that really made sense would be from say a 4080 to a 4090, and that was simply because the performance increase from a 4090 was so good there probably should be an empty tier below it :)
