it is simple. just open geforce experience and they will automatically detect the 3060 ti and start installing the drivers. there is no need to go to nvidia website and install it manually

You can pretty much hot swap Nvidia GPUs, they just don't care.

However, it's probably adviseable to do it 'properly', i.e. DDU, install new card, and reinstall latest Nvidia drivers. Really shouldn't take long at all.
