Hello, I have 1060 3gb and wanted to buy something better like 4060 or something but i've heard that not every GPU Is compatible. So I tried 1050ti from my old PC. Like GPU starts, and it's working but it doesn't even show in the task manager that it's connected

    @Duby make sure that 1050TI is appropriately connected.

    If you want to upgrade to a 4060 or other high-end GPU, ensure you get another PSU that can handle that card's recommended wattage.

    Please remember to include @AnhEZ28 when you want to reply back to my comment so that I can check your response.
    Thank you and have a nice day!

    Any of the newer cards should work, as long as they fit. As suggested make sure your PSU has the power to drive the newer card, but IIRC your G3-710 has a decent sized supply as the default at 700+W.
