Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series product value

Question with the 5000 series not supporting Physx some people may want to purchase a low power / quiet older card to act as a dedicated Physx card, so whats the slowest card you could use for that ?
the slowest new card I can find on sale is

Ehhm.. it's an interesting question but I'm not sure if this is gonna lead to a satisfactory outcome. Unlike reusing some older card you happen to have lying around.

But ok if you check Nvidia's CUDA compatibility list that model number should have compute capability up to version 2.1 or 3.5 (as there are Fermi and Kepler versions of that card supposedly).
And driver support ends with 475.14.

A Pascal based GT1010 or 1030 shouldn't cost much more but supports all the way to 6.1 as well as still being supported by the latest Nvidia drivers. Might be a more sensible expense.
 
I could use an older card (and I guess it would be the same for a lot of people) but having a quite high end card (for the time) dedicated to just Physx is a bit much
I never thought about the driver side of things would for example having a rtx5070 with the latest driver and a gt710 with PhysX-9.13.0604-SystemSoftware-Legacy driver installed be enough to use that combo ?
or if not a gtx 9000 series card or later and NVIDIA PhysX System Software installed

You would definitely want a card supported by the same driver as your main card which means that anything older than Maxwell is out and if you plan on using the card for more than just playing the games now then you'd probably make a cut at Turing even - which means something like GTX 1630 or RTX 3050 I'd say.
