Honestly, the 7700 XT is such a sweet spot card right now! I actually just finished a build for a friend using the PowerColor Hellhound AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT 12GB GDDR6 and the results were amazing... like, the cooling performance is legit top-tier. We saw it sitting at 58C while gaming which is just insane for a card in this bracket! It runs so quiet you basically forget its even there. Quick question before you buy tho, what power supply and case are you rocking? Some of these higher-end models are surprisingly long and need decent headroom. If you have the room, definitely look at the ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7700 XT OC Edition 12GB. The VRM design on that thing is fantastic and it feels like it could survive a drop from a building lol. It consistently holds higher boost clocks than the base models in my experience. Seriously love how overbuilt it is!

I love my XFX Speedster QICK319 RX 7700 XT Black Gaming. https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Speedster-QICK319-Graphics-RX-77TQICKB9/dp/B0CGMBYMY6/?------123456890?6890-20

Got Sapphire Pulse RX 7700 XT, really love it.

I love my ASRock Radeon RX 7700 XT Challenger, works well and has a great design.

Sapphire is top brand for AMD GPUs.

Cheapest is best.
