I need advice about following Graphic cards which to buy

Hello dear friends i just want to ask that GTX 550 TI 1Gb DDR5 192BIT Is a good card for Dx11 Games or AMD HD6870 DDR5 1GB 256bit ?
In 5k budget

The HD 6870 would be better, but given that these are both over a decade old, I wouldn't characterize either as good.

YOu can get RX 560 4GB for very cheap on ebay, and it is going to be running circles around both of those, and has driver support that won't die soon.

You have 5k to spend and you are looking at graphics cards from over a decade ago?

What currency is that? 5k USD will get you basically whatever graphics card you'd like.

What are you using now?
What is the make/model of your psu?
The 6870 is the stronger card, but it is also a 150w card that needs a stronger psu. GTX550ti is 116w.
FWIW, a more modern GT1030 is stronger than either and is only a 30w card.
