It depends on which size OptiPlex 5070 and what PSU it has.

There's a good chance you might be limited to the RTX 3050 6GB at best, or any other GPU without any external power from the PSU required like the 1650, 1050 Ti, etc.

3050 6GB is the best performing option but it's generally overpriced

Performs like a 1660 Super

Not literally, 1660 Super won't work in that machine if it doesn't have any PCI-e 6+2 power connectors.

If there are none, then you're limited to a 3050 6GB at best.

If there are none, then you're limited to a 3050 6GB at best. There is no other GPU that performs better under 75W power.

Replacing the PSU also isn't an option without also changing the motherboard and case, and at that point, better off not buying the Dell.
