Honestly, depends on what you are trying to do. Plex server only transcodes if the client doesn't support the original format. You can build a system that just serves files if all you need and can use integrated graphics on your cpu if available or a $30 graphics card. If you need to do lots of transcoding. Make sure to have good CPU. GPU is really secondary, but video files with H. 264, HEVC, MPEG-2, and VC-1 encoded video can take advantage of hardware-accelerated decoding from a GPU. When hardware-accelerated decoding is not compatible with a video file, Plex Media Server will automatically use normal software decoding (CPU).
FWIW, I have a 16mb Voodoo3 card for you if you really want an "older one". I will sell it cheap too, along with the rest of the 21 year old Dell XPS-T with the blazing fast 500 MHz Pentium III processor!

Full spec here from GB directly:

Unfortunately for me, it's an 8 pin connector and too much for what I want (looking for a stock six pin) but otherwise solid.
If I could find a cache of RX 470s like that for $300(!) I would be all over it, mostly for my own family and friends. So many held out during the mining era.
That is a similar deal that guy from TechYesCity (on youtube) got for a bunch of cards, too. I think what he got were AMD cards, can't remember if it were 470s or 580s. But yeah for a used pc builder, that's a heck of a price
ASRock Phantom Gaming D Radeon RX 570 DirectX 12 RX570 8G OC 8GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
Similar card? Would be nice to save $30 bucks if this Gigabyte would work for me.

Are you going to keep that 570 for like five years? If so, it's likely future titles at 1080p/High could require more vram for steady frame rates. In that case maybe it's worth it? Generally speaking that 4GB --> 8GB jump on these cards is worth about $10 to me. $30 would be too much unless it was also a 580. IMO.

If you got 12 years out of that card, kudos to you! What a run!
Although it looks like some have been able to get it working: https://forums.plex.tv/t/amd-for-...nly/234695
I can't comment on this cards capability. I read a post on Reddit that mentioned "My rx570 will do 8 1080p streams maxed out and my processor runs at 60% it all depends on the card my R7 370 didn't work for transcoding."
