Debian: how to switch from Noveau to Nvidia drivers?


Hello, i'm usind Debian 12.2 bookworm and i guess the Nvidia drivers aren't in use.
Am i wrong?
lspci -k | grep -A 2 -i "VGA"
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA104 [GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Lite Hash Rate] (rev a1)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. GA104 [GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Lite Hash Rate]
Kernel driver in use: nouveau
If not there's a way to load the correct drivers?

Here you can find the correct driver for your GPU, https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

On the description page for your driver you will find installation instructions under the heading, "Additional Information." Under that same heading you can find detailed installation instructions by clicking on "README."

Thanks for helping out
There was a problem with the X server, so I opted for another very simple solution.
Synaptic Package Manager
search for software-properties-gtk package and mark for installation > apply
sudo apt install software-properties-gtk > (see uploaded pic)
sudo apt update && sudo apt install nvidia-detect
nvidia-detect
sudo apt install nvidia-driver
Reboot.
lspci -k | grep -A 2 -i "VGA"
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA104 [GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Lite Hash Rate] (rev a1)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. GA104 [GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Lite Hash Rate]
Kernel driver in use: nvidia

P.s. I wrote it all down, in case it may be useful to others.
