Need help choosing a graphics card

Budget (including currency): 200 Dollars

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: GTA,Paladins,CS:GO, a bit of photoshop super rarely, Fortnite, PUBG, Battlefield V, some other lite games

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):  So, I have been looking for a new graphics card in a very right budget and I saw that the RX 5500 XT from MSI was $190 at best buy and i wanted to know if the card was good and what does it compare to I see some reviews say different things about it so i decided to come here to check if it was a good deal and also if there are better options and if the drivers for it are fixed. By the way this is the 8 Gb model.

You should look for used GTX 1070 Ti's as they have the same amount of memory (8 GB) but have almost double the number of Cuda Cores. You should find them on Craigslist/Ebay/etc for around 200 USD

I'd try to find either a cheap 1660 super or a normal 1660 as then you get all of the nice features of the Turing architecture. Like the newer NVENC encoder

But the 1660 Super has 2 GB less video memory and about 1000 less Cuda Cores compared to a 1070 Ti

firstly, the 1660 super has GDDR6 memory as oppose to GDDR5 that the 1070 TI has. secondly, the 1660 super has loads more features as I mentioned. and in raw FPS it basically depends on the game. so it depends on the user
