I’m considering whether it’s worth spending an additional $130 to upgrade from the 7800 XT, which costs $560 in my country, to the 7900 GRE at $690. The performance jump seems small, so I’m wondering if it’s a good investment based on the price difference. Any thoughts?

Yeah, I remember when the 7800 XT was priced around $430 last November! The price increases are wild. If you’re really set on upgrading, consider visiting a local store like Microcenter. They sometimes have discounts that might help you snag a better deal!
If you’re on a budget, maybe wait and see if the prices drop or check out the 9070 series. I’ve heard it’s more powerful, though it’s a bit pricier right now. Still, it might be worth it in the long run. Plus, prices can fluctuate, so keeping an eye on deals could help!
Honestly, the 7900 GRE is only about 10% faster on average than the 7800 XT, so it might not be worth the extra cash for that slight bump in performance. If you already have a decent setup with the 7800, you could save that money or put it toward another upgrade instead.
