I just realized that I installed 32-bit graphics drivers instead of the 64-bit version for my RTX 5060. Should I be worried about any problems coming from this?

Yes, you definitely need to switch to the 64-bit drivers. 64-bit Windows doesn’t support 32-bit drivers at all, so your current setup won't work well or may cause issues. Better download the correct version soon!
I find it hard to believe you got a 32-bit version for the RTX 5060. Are you sure of that? Typically, you would only download the 64-bit drivers for that hardware. Check the official Nvidia site and get the right drivers!
There's really nothing stopping you from installing the 64-bit version. It's free, so why not do it? Just make sure you uninstall any old drivers first to avoid conflicts.
You won't find a 32-bit driver for the 50 series from Nvidia. They simply don't make one for that card. So, no worries! Just ensure you download the 64-bit drivers instead to be on the safe side.
Exactly, it's best to just get the 64-bit version. NVIDIA's support page has what you need.
How did you even install the 32-bit drivers on a 64-bit OS? Just to clarify, you should not be able to run 32-bit drivers on a 64-bit system at all. Make sure you check the source where you got them from.
If I download the 64-bit drivers, do I need to uninstall the 32-bit ones first?
