Hi
I installed macOS Sonoma (14.4.1) on my pc, and for gpu I installed Nvidia web driver with open core patcher.
pc: HP EliteDesk 800 G2 SFF
CPU: Intel i7 6700 (Skylake)
GPU: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
RAM: 24Gb DDR4

Almost everything is good. But I have some graphic issues:
1. Glass blur effect it's weird
2. When booting into system if my both monitors is connected, macOS will boot into black screen (after apple logo loading), so for fixing it I just have to disconnect one of my monitors and then connect it after macOS loaded completely.
3. When I run a 3D game (I didn't test steam games) it opens in fullscreen and completely black screen without any sound with Control+F I can exit fullscreen but nothing change.

Using a supported AMD card will yield better results than trying to use an unsupported video card

You can get a fully supported, basically new Asrock RX 560 4GB for 90 USD. Should perform much better than a 1050 Ti. Especially since you're on Sonoma which has no Nvidia support built in.

 
There is not any way without changing my GPU?
 
What if I downgrade macOS? For example Ventura or Monterey?

High Sierra is the last version to support your Nvidia using the web drivers
