Your black screen after installing the 535 drivers was a 'red herring'
In fact the drivers installed correctly and all it was waiting on was for you to reboot the machine to start using them.
Do to the squabble between Nvidia and the Linux distros about who is to supply the frame buffer driver or fbdev, during the driver installation, the installation removes the existing fbdev driver during the installation.
And the fbdev driver is what supplies your screen output. No driver = black screen.
But in fact the driver was installed, but you had no indication that it had done so in fact because you had no screen to view the progress.
All that needs to be done is reboot the host through the keyboard with a REISUB entry or push the reset button and the host will reboot just fine using the newly installed driver.

Thank you very much I will try and remember that!!
If your computer has a LED HDD transfer light, just watch it during the driver installation and after the screen goes blank.
Wait for the drive activity light frequency to die down and the drivers will have been compiled into the kernel and it safe to hit the reset button or the magical REISUB keyboard sequence to reboot the computer.
Or just wait a few minutes to be safe depending on your drive speed. SSD or M.2 devices only require max maybe 30 seconds to finish the driver installation. Old iron spinners might take several minutes.
Even if you interrupt the driver installation too soon, if you go into your emergency kernel menu, you can complete the driver installation as all the components have been downloaded and just left the apt installer half done and it will finish the installation for you. Then you can reboot normally and you will be up on the 535 drivers.

It depends on if current AMD drivers are proprietary installed or default Ubuntu/Mint drivers (mesa). If the AMD prop drivers (likely if ur running BOINC on ur AMD cards) you need to run 'amdgpu -uninstall' first to remove them. AMD's driver doc is pretty good on this.
Power down, remove AMD cards, install 4060, reboot (should use mesa stuff), go to driver manager (this is what Mint calls it) and install the nvidia prop (not open source) driver (I'm using 535) and it'll tell you to 'restart' when it's done.
Run 'CLINFO' in a terminal to see the NVIDIA platform and the 4060 on the 535 driver. Start BOINC. S/B OK at that point with default clocks but check BOINC log to be sure it sees the card.

I personally use the Nvidia drivers installed under System Settings.
My new RTX 4060 Ti is happily crunching away on 3X O3AS tasks in my Ubuntu system. The only mild irritation is the fan noise. The fans are running at the default 50% speed, keeping the GPU temperature at a cool ~50 C. I tried to lower fan speed using the nvidia-settings GUI, assuming that a temperature of ~65--70 is fine, but that fan function is not enabled. On-line I found various approaches to enable fan speed adjustments. For example, editing /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config by adding the line 'needs_root_rights=yes' or running nvidia-xconfig --cool-bits=4, but I am uneasy messing with X11 files for a card that's only used for computing (the display is run from on-board graphics).
Does anyone have thoughts or suggestions?
Ideas are not fixed, nor should they be; we live in model-dependent reality.

There is no issue with editing the xorg.conf or Xwrapper.config files. I would make backup copies just in case.
The coolbits tweak is a long-standing solution for fan and clock control.
The need to edit permissions to allow the user to control settings only came about just recently in the later kernels with their intentions to lock down just about everything to only system and never let the user have any control over anything anymore. IMHO, they taken things much too far and made the OS much less usable to the local average user.
The Xwrapper.config edit needs changes to add:
allowed_users=anybody
needs_root_rights=yes
Save the file and reboot or logoff and log back in to reload the Display Manager.

I got this command line from my team mates.

Then reboot your system. The Gui will now have fan speeds and overclocking available.
