At the 150-200e mark you've got pretty much 3 choices: RX 580, RX 5500 XT (8GB) and Nvidia GTX 1650 Super.

In a nutshell:

RX 580 performs slightly lower than 5500 XT and is slightly cheaper.
5500XT consumes less power and performs about the same as GTX 1060 in most cases.
1650 Super is also very close to 5500 XT (they trade blows).

I have a 5500 XT for a few months, it performs as expected and never gave me any trouble.

is the 8GB worth the extra buck though

This is an older system i5 2500 with some random Sandy Bridge (?) mobo - will this pose a problem with theese cards being "PCI Express 3.0 x16" ?

or is it just another case of the the latest standard getting put on the box regardless of bandwith?

If you plan to do 4k gaming or VR, otherwise no.

Not many games will go over 4GB unless you start using a bunch of high res mods, however [as shown](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nV6Ftm2xpw) in a few select games/benchmarks, the 4GB model offers lower performance for some strange reason.

@Guppy: I see many cards label this as "PCIe 4.0", PCIe is backwards compatible, I'm running it on an Intel i5-4590 system, Sandybridge will be fine for it.

Where I live, people are dumping their 1070 8gb like old socks. You can find a used one for between 150 - 200 €, still a very capable GPU.

Used prices around these parts are simply not worth it - people usually demand 70-80% of the retail price for their crap. point in case, there are currently 10 1070 8g up for sale the priced 230-300€.

At any rather I ordered a 1650 super for him it should arrive today, thanks for the help everyone 👍
