Hello, I mounted a new NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti ASUS graphics card on my PC with Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon 6.0.4, kernel 5.15.0-112-generic.
This GPU is not recognized by programs including NVIDIA x server settings. However, I can find them in the system information.
However, I managed to get them to work under Windows with the latest driver (555.99). But under Linux, I have the 535.171.04 driver. When I try to update, Linux offers me the 545 driver but I cannot install it. Also I can't install any other driver.
So, I have to go through Windows which annoys me.
UPDATE
I FOUND THE SOLUTION :
Then I have uninstalled the driver.
I downloaded a driver on nvidia.com
I had these messages :
You appear to be running an X server. Installing the NVIDIA driver while X
is running is not recommended, as doing so may prevent the installer from
detecting some potential installation problems, and it may not be possible
to start new graphics applications after a new driver is installed. If you
choose to continue installation, it is highly recommended that you reboot
your computer after installation to use the newly installed driver.

WARNING: An NVIDIA kernel module 'nvidia-drm' appears to be already loaded
in your kernel. This may be because it is in use (for example, by
an X server, a CUDA program, or the NVIDIA Persistence Daemon), but
this may also happen if your kernel was configured without support
for module unloading. Some of the sanity checks that
nvidia-installer performs to detect potential installation problems
are not possible while an NVIDIA kernel module is running.
Would you like to continue installation and skip the sanity checks? If not,
please abort the installation, then close any programs which may be using
the NVIDIA GPU(s), and attempt installation again.

WARNING: Continuing installation despite the presence of a loaded NVIDIA
kernel module. Some sanity checks will not be performed. It is
strongly recommended that you reboot your computer after
installation is complete. If the installation is not successful
after rebooting the computer, you can run

An alternate method of installing the NVIDIA driver was detected. (This is
usually a package provided by your distributor.) A driver installed via that
method may integrate better with your system than a driver installed by
nvidia-installer.
Please review the message provided by the maintainer of this alternate
installation method and decide how to proceed:

The NVIDIA driver provided by Ubuntu can be installed by launching the
"Software & Updates" application, and by selecting the NVIDIA driver from the
"Additional Drivers" tab.

The initramfs will likely need to be rebuilt due to the following
condition(s):
* Nouveau is present in the initramfs.
Would you like to rebuild the initramfs?
