7900XT Merc 310 Black here. If I don't mind letting it hit 100C I can get the fps out of it comparable to the 7900XTX reference model. Paid around $700 ish with the free game and big sale a few months ago. Currently I'm running it with capped clocks of 2200mhz with normal bios (instead of letting it auto boost to 3000 on max power bios) and it stays between 60-75C hotspot. Very satisfied.

I am actually really impressed that the "dead platform" that I upgraded into is still getting new chips. I'm also really happy with my 5800x3d and wouldn't be surprised if I stay with this chip as long as I stuck with my last one.
