I already know that the Queen's Gambit is pretty good engine wise, but are there any others that are good?

Are you looking for Justification or absoulution or just a decent gambit ... You may have to understand the word gambit better than the ones who play the unsound gambits but then again overthinking these ussual pawn sacs can be overdone although a deeper understanding of Chess says your question is a decent question indeed @Abadchessplayer6

Im just curious that's all. I know that gambits are supposed to be risky, but I just wonder about gambits that the computer thinks is "worthy of the sacrifice" or whatever.
i like your question. for fun and profit ;) and if someone would provide a list of gambit (name, FEN) pairs, i could set up a script that would do and add the evaluations on them. what we would need is also the position right before the gambit move so we can calculate the difference in evaluation. is that what you are after? the question should provide context, what the meaning of "best" in that question is exactly so we calculate the right answer to it.
I think BEST gambits are : Queens Gambit , Danish and Evans

Hope this helps :)
The best gambit according to me is the SMITH-MORRA GAMBIT
The Marshall Gambit is considered completely sound, to the point where top-level players will go out of their way to avoid it. See the most recent world championship match, in which Ian Nepomniatschi specifically tried to avoid the Marshall Gambit. However, at your level (and even at mine) playing into such lines is very theoretically complex and is best avoided. You will improve your chess much faster if you don't overstudy the opening.
Queen's Gambit is not a gambit at all.
QG, Smith-Morra, Panov transfer, Greco gambit, Staunton gambit.
