Maybe an older card off of ebay is a good option like a gtx 970 or a 780ti. If you don't want used graphics cards, then go for the 1050 ti, almost all other cards are overpriced at the moment.

Used 780? Used rx 460 4gb? A potato will run fortnite so I see no need to spend more than $150.

A GTX 1050 Ti has 768 cores like the 650 Ti, but the GTX 1050 Ti is clocked 50% higher (about 1400 Mhz to about 900Mhz respecitvely) You'd see at minimum a 50% increase in FPS based on clock speed alone. That isn't even including the boost 3.0 Boost Clocks. My 1080 Ti boost is quoted at 1721Mhz or so, but it actually boosts all the way to 1925 Mhz or so. So you'd probably see even higher clocks than that.
