Replace with what exactly?
1. The same card
2. A different card from the same Pascal 1000 series of GPUs from Nvidia
3. Any card without external power requirements
4. Any Nvidia card

We don't know where you are ordering from, or what your budget is. Hard to give much help.
I haven't seen anything that wasn't "plug and play" in many years.
Assuming that the power supply in that thing has at least one pci-e power (could be wrong) you could use a card that uses external power and wind up with something a bit more powerful. rtx 2060, 3060 or rx 6600xt, rx 6650xt. keep the power budget for that card around 150 watts or so and you should be fine with 600w psu. if you want something that doesn't require external power.......rtx 3050, A2000, or rx6400 are pretty much your only options for an upgrade.

Sadly this is something I recommend as well, a fine card for being a low-powered one, but just too expensive for what it is. 150EUR max that would have better value.Rtx 3050 6gb

Sadly, price hardware economics is a constant change. That card will pay for it's self with the satisfaction being 150% uplift in FPS... over the current 1050 ti. At least I'd hope anyways haha.

3050 6/8 GB.
2060 8 GB also an option but needs power connections.
You don't want anything older than these as you won't have support for DLSS/RTX feature stack, and will likely lose driver support soon.
4060/5060 also an option but require power connections.

Blessings - your suggestion found Best Buy in stock was a comfort but bought Amazon - offered same in 8GB for 10% more, free shipping and free returns .... cleaning card showed no dust but reports on FireFox suggested tweaks to its High Demands on video cards I have implemented
