In my server I currently have an Intel i7 9th gen CPU with integrated Intel video.

I don't use or need A.I. or LLM stuff, but we use jellyfin extensively in the family.

So far jellyfin worked always perfectly fine, but I could add (for free) an NVIDIA 2060 or a 1060. Would it be worth it?

And as power consumption, will the increase be noticeable? Should I do it or pass?

If the iGPU is getting the job done, I would leave that alone. You could add a GPU and pass it through to a gaming VM. But that is an entirely different project.

Could be an interesting project tough, will definitely think about that. Not top priority, but why not since the hardware its free?

Power consumption, if you care about that.

Yes, but if I can stream games to my mobile device that could be an acceptable treadeoff, if the card doesn't drain too much when idle

I would avoid it, if you care at all about availability and downtime. The result will probably not be great, you need to ensure the server side gets enough resources under load, and setting it up may require constant restarts if things aren’t immediately working as expected.

Nonetheless, here is a link where someone did essentially exactly that on NixOS: https://astrid.tech/2022/09/22/0/nixos-gpu-vfio/
