I've just installed a Sapphire RX 7900XT Nitro+ in my new build, but it seems like it might be dead on arrival. I've made sure everything is seated correctly, updated the drivers, and confirmed that the fans are spinning and there's a signal from the HDMI port. However, I'm only getting 5fps in the Heaven benchmark, all options in Afterburner are greyed out, and there's no RGB lighting on the card at all. What could be going wrong?

It sounds like you might still have the old GPU's drivers lingering in your system. Those can interfere with the new one. I’d suggest using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to completely remove any old drivers before reinstalling the new ones. It could make a big difference!
Thanks for the tip! I’ll try that. I just thought since it’s a new rig I wouldn’t have any leftovers. Fingers crossed!
