Question Buying advice

[Teknoman2]

After long consideration i decided to get a RX9070XT but i can't decide which.
Those in the price range i'm willing to pay are
PowerColor Reaper
PowerColor Hellhound
Asrock Steel Legend
XFX Gaming Edition
XFX Quicksilver Magnetic Air
Gigabyte Gaming OC
They all probably have the same performance so if it comes to build quality, which do you think is the best?
EDIT scratch the 2 XFX cards, they won't fit in the case. I forgot to check sizes before posting

Host system specs?

What is the actual price range in your budget?

CPU: Ryzen 7700X
CPU cooler: Thermalright PA 120 SE
Motherboard: MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk wifi (BIOS 7D75v1M)
Ram: Gskill Trident Z neo 6000MHz
SSD/HDD: ADATA SX6000LNP, Samsung 850EVO, 860QVO, 970EVO
GPU: PowerColor RX7700XT Hellhound
PSU: Be Quiet pure power 12M 850W 14 months old
Chassis: a cheap rebrand of (probably) an old corsair model with 4 aftermarket Arctic fans (3 intake 1 exhaust)
OS: Windows 11
Monitor: DELL G2724D
Max GPU length that can fit in the case is 330mm so the 2 XFX are out

The cards i posted are those in my price range of up to 750 euros, the rest are above that price limit and i don't want the Sapphire Pulse card that is within that limit because of the 12VHPC.
Also, almost all other cards i checked are more than 330mm long.

I have the AsRock Steel Legend 9070xt and I’m happy with it. But all the other companies you mentioned have been around a long time as well, so probably hard to go wrong with any of them.

On the powercolor cards, I think the reaper is their entry level model, so the hellhound likely has a slightly better build quality.

As far as xfx I think the magnetic air has the magnetic fans that you can remove for cleaning, so that’s likely the better model there.

Realistically though any of the cards should be fine and the performance should be within a few % of one another. I would say get whatever card looks the best to you, has the beat warranty, and fits your budget.

The Steel Legend is the one i was also thinking of as its also the cheapest. What are the temperatures on it? Especially the VRAM as my current Hellhound has low core temperature but the VRAM easily gets to 85C+, and i heard that hot VRAM is also a thing with the 9070s of PowerColor.
