What I did in 2023 was to buy the cheapest Radeon RX 7600 (XFX Speedster SWFT210 Radeon RX 7600) which at that time was like 300 USD... Originally it's like 220W power consumption, but I underclocked it (with the awesome corectrl utility) and now is just like 10-15% slower (which still is 3 times faster than my previous Nvidia 1060 3GB) and is just ~75W of power consumption, temperatures never exceed ~60°C and I don't plant to update my card until the end of 2026, when I plan to buy a good AMD card and underclock it to lower temps and wattage again.
P.S.: I did the same with my CPU, a beefy AMD Ryzen 9 7950X. It's originally ~170W and I have it in my BIOS set to "ECO Mode" at ~65W, is like 10-15% slower, but it's a third of the power consumption.
