[Jellyfin] PCIe x4 graphic card for transcoding

I have only a PCIe 2.0 x4 and a PCIe 3.0 x16 free and I need to install a 10Gbps SFP+ card and a graphic card for transcoding with Jellyfin (the CPU is an old E5-2620 v2). Since I can't find any SFP+ card that is x4, do you know a graphic card with decent transcoding capabilities (I'd day 2 4K simultaneously) that is only PCIe 2.0 x4?

Edit: the x4 slot is full length.

Why not disable transcoding?
- Because it may be needed?
  
  For what?
  
  I don’t let my users transcode and provide instructions how to set playback to the original Quality.
  
  Because some player can't play the original file, because the bandwidth sometimes it it's not enough, etc.
