I'm in the market for a single-slot GPU that I can get shipped to the US. I recently upgraded my setup to an RTX 5000 series, but I still enjoy playing some older titles that utilize hardware PhysX, like Batman and Borderlands. To enhance my gaming experience, I want to add a second GPU dedicated solely to PhysX tasks. However, my case can only accommodate a GPU that doesn't exceed a single PCI-E bracket in thickness, so I'm considering options like a passively cooled GTX *50 or something similar.

You might want to check out the T400. It's not the cheapest option around, but it's reasonable at around $99 on eBay. It's essentially a lower power version of the 1650, so it should handle PhysX tasks pretty well. If you're looking for something cheaper, a GT 1030 could work, but keep in mind it's not as powerful and may not support your needs as effectively.
Yeah, I’d advise against the 1030 or any other 10 series cards since driver support for them is fading out.
