So you can install new versions of drivers?
I'm asking because these cards are 150 euro on AliExpress, at 100 I would buy one as a backup GPU, good efficiency and solid 1080p performance.
Yes, select "use driver files on disk" in NVCleanstall. Then under "add hardware support" select any white-listed 3060M as template.

So, if these are tossed into a box for retail sale, do you suppose the "M" will actually get included in the GTX 3060 designation? I don't think so.
