5700xt . 6600xt , rtx 2070 super. what have people got in mind?

5700 XT: RDNA has dated worse than RDNA2, e.g. it doesn't support mesh shaders or ray tracing and it might well have been mined on. A lot of these GPUs had black screen issues too, though if that was drivers, or PSUs, or a general issue with them, who knows.
RTX 2070 Super: competitive performance with the other two, but like the 5700 XT they're getting on (could be ~5 years old).

Personally, I'd hold out for Black friday and hope you can pick up a new 6600 or 7600 for the same money, there have been offers at those prices previously.
