I’m sorry you are right.I just avoid talking too much because my english is very bad but i will try to make you understand.First of all i have my specs displayed in my account but i will mention it here once again.I have a 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-11800H @ 2.30GHz × 16 and a nvidia RTX3050 TI laptop gpu.Manjaro runs perfectly fine but when it comes to 3D graphics (like playing games) it runs through the intel graphics.I would like to run games with Nvidia graphics but i do not know how it works in manjaro.Prime-run %command% makes games not to open so this solution it does not work at least for me.There is not any option in the nvidia settins to switch to NVIDIA graphics as you can see in the following screenshot
Lutris due to some steam issues wont detect any steam games either (if i could play the games through lutris i could configure this from lutris but i can’t)
So my question is
1->How to switch to Nvidia graphics
2->How to download the latest drivers for nvidia (the current driver does not seem to be the latest one)
Let start over. To verify that you actually have the proper setup and that it is working you can give the output of the following commands from terminal:
give proper system information with inxi -Fazy
list the available video drivers with mhwd -l
list the installed video drivers with mhwd -li
list the card used by default (should be Intel) glxinfo | grep renderer
list the card used by offloading (should be Nvidia) prime-run glxinfo | grep renderer
PS: for each command, put three backticks before and after the terminal output that you copy/paste here, for the output to be properly formatted and readable, example:
> Installed PCI configs:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME VERSION FREEDRIVER TYPE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime 2021.12.18 false PCI
video-modesetting 2020.01.13 true PCI
Warning: No installed USB configs!
At first sight, it seems to me that it is all in order, so you should be able to use the Nvidia card on demand.
So start Steam normally (do not add Steam in Lutris or whatever you tried to do before, just open Steam from the application menu).
Right click on one of your game in your Library, and then go to Properties → General
From here you should see at the bottom the Launch Options, simply copy and paste exactly that:
prime-run %command%
Close the game Properties windows, start your game, it should use the Nvidia video card for this game now.
i just did that,i added → prime-run %command% as you said.I closed the properties window and i pressed START THE GAME.The game starts and it close right after 1 second
Yes,all games can open normally if the “lunch options” is left blank.I do not run games with steam proton,it can run natively only with steam (at least these games i play) also when i try to do prime-select nvidia i got this result
I don’t know then if it works only without the prime-run launch option. I don’t see what is wrong. You may try to close Steam and start it from terminal with steam and you can see the Steam log directly in terminal, maybe you can see what is wrong when the game doesn’t launch.
Also maybe some magic behind the scene with your card makes it automatically switch to Nvidia without adding any Launch Options in Steam, it may be possible to verify with a demanding game, and see the performance you have with no Launch Option.
