Finally looked over the revised listing a bit, as I was curious to see if the Evga GQ series had been added. Was a bit shocked they were placed in tier 1. I was honestly expecting tier 2 on those.
The GQ Series is the perfect example of why we should not classify an entire lineup into one Tier. This list needs to instead judge each model. The 850W GQ was incredible, definitely Tier 1 quality and just as good as the G2. The 750W one didn't even meet ATX specification for ripple, and that was bad, and deserves Tier 3. The 650W had high enough ripple and looser voltage regulation to earn Tier 2.
This is why we cannot generalize a whole lineup.
