How do I install the Nvidia driver for my 1080ti in Debian 12?

Seriously. Installing the nvidia-driver package doesn't work. I've tried all the suggestions I could find on an internet search and they didn't work. I can install it with apt install nvidia-driver, it gives me the "Nvidia x server settings" program but it doesn't have anything in it. I'm locked to 1 monitor and the only resolution I can choose is 1024x768. The only thing I haven't tried is installing the the Nvidia driver from their website but I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to do that because it will 100% guarentee the os will get borked if you ever do a major upgrade and the one time it happened to me, I couldn't fix it without a drive format and reinstall despite several days of trying everything except a drive format and reinstall. However if that's the only working modern way to install it, fine.

This is like my first time having to install Linux in forever. Linux doesnt bork itself as often as Windows so it's hard to get experience.
