Radeon RX 7700 XT
Radeon RX 7700 XT is strongest when you care about discounted 1440p and midrange upgrades. At about $349, judge it by whether those strengths fix a real daily problem rather than by the longest spec sheet.
Buying verdict
Choose Radeon RX 7700 XT if discounted 1440p matters more than chasing the absolute top-tier option. Skip it if 12gb is less attractive than 16gb peers.
