Entry/Midrange Video Card for Inspiron 3910 w/ One x16 PCIe slot
I have a high-performing Inspiron 3910 that I wanted to give a small performance boost for up to mid-range graphics utilization. I'd like to to stick with an nVidia card if possible. I have the bronze 300W PSU and the factory supplied open slots, one each of 16x and 1x PCIe slots. No high-end options seem reasonable. So what chips or cards might you recommend? Anything to take the load off the Intel UHD 770 integrated graphics and increase speed even a little of video playback/encoding-decoding/rendering. Intel Core i7-12700, 32GB DDDR4 RAM, Samsung PCIe 970 EVO Plus system drive, and 870 EVO on SATA for storage.

Read this thread... but your choices are going to be limited by the 300W PSU.
NOTE: Some of the links in that thread are to configs at userbenchmark.com. Keep in mind that site doesn't mention the PSU installed in any config. So just because someone is using a certain GPU in an Inspiron 3910 doesn't mean it will work with your 300W PSU.
NVidia says GTX 1650 (G5) needs a 300W PSU and the GTX 1650 Super needs a 350W PSU. Cards in the GTX 1660 series need a 450W PSU.
Always check the manufacturer's PSU requirements for the exact card you want to buy...
