Great Entry-Level GPU for HTPC use

I purchased this for HTPC use in the living room (media consumption, not gaming). Why this over a cheaper Polaris-based RX 560/570/580 product? A few reasons:
1) Power consumption. The living room PC is left on 24/7 and the older AMD cards use much more power, even in idle-state.
2) Video codec support. AMD's new RDNA graphics cards implement new video decoding support for VP9 decoding, which is especially important for Youtube. While the older products support H.264/H.265 at 4K 60Hz, they do not natively support VP9 decoding, which means that a lot of work is needlessly offloaded to the CPU.
3) Play-Ready 3.0 compliant - Important for playing DRM content (e.g. native Netflix app on Windows).
Overall, it's a decent card that does everything I need it to do. I suppose it would make a good entry-level gaming GPU as well due to having 8GB GDDR6 VRAM, but it's annoying that AMD decided to limit the memory bus width to 128-bit and the memory speeds to 1860MHz.

No complaints on this GPU yet...works excellent, quiet fans. Looks beautiful with the nice matte black backplate. In the $200 price range, nothing beats the XFX Thicc II 5500 XT

Was looking for a graphics card that was good and didn't break the bank and this one fit the bill, so far I'm not disappointed it runs everything on max or ultra no problem i play at 1080p so fps are not a problem. The only game that i play and it stutters a little is american truck simulator all the other games i play the outer world, forza horizon 4, formula 1 2018 run smooth

This is a great graphic card for 1080p for its value. You get two free games. It is a bargain.

Good, but not sure

Im really looking forward to seeing how it performs on Next years games, but for now, its holding on to REDDEAD2 and NO MANS pretty well. Drivers are stable on my B450 Ryzen 5 system (windows 10 64 bit)

Black screens.

Constant black screens. Seriously so so frustrating. Seems to be a fairly big complaint across the forums. No remedy to the problem aside from returning the card and buying Nvidia. Hindsight is 20/20 though.
