Soooo after a month of trying, I have given up trying to get my 7900xtx setup back from my ex.
I have been grinding at work using a ryzen 5500U handheld with a smashed display and a usb-c dock as my stopgap system.
This is what I have settled on as the replacement:

My primary usecase is g*ming, although my most played titles are HEAVILY cpu bound to the point that an Arc B580 would do in the counterfactual world where Intel did not operate factories on destroyed Palestinian villages.
The 9070xt is a gambit that ML hype keeps prices inflated through the launch of UDNA in 3 years.
Not really a fan of va panels or 1080p but that’s whatever. Clearances look fine, main thing I’d change is I’d get the asus prime oc gpu for 3 displayport instead of 2dp/2hdmi, seeing as you’re going triple monitor. The asus card also boosts a little higher and it’s the same price
Is DP daisy chaining no longer a supported technology? I chose sapphire because I hear they are the least stonewall-y for warranty service.
DisplayPort daisy chaining would require the monitor to support it, which as these only have one DisplayPort I’m pretty sure they do not. There would likely also be bandwidth restrictions. It also looks like they only support 240hz@1080p over HDMI vs the 250hz the DP supports, minor but could be an issue if you’re trying to do 5760x1080. Sapphire does have a good reputation though, I’d definitely use them if they did Nvidia (or AMD decided to make high end GPUs again).
Edit: It looks like you could get a daisychain adapter but that’d be another thing to fail and more money to spend when you could just avoid the issue.
