install optimus-manager from the package-manager and switch to nvidia.
use the option startup-mode to handle nvidia as permanent with the kernel-option. be aware to update grub.

You did not read my post yet you answer, i have that already installed.

i read your post and i’m sure that you might have installed optimus but you didn’t used it in the proper way. that’s what i’m 100% sure.

Its installed and working but manjaro wont switch the graphics

as is already stated, use the option to declare the nvidia card as permant primary with the kernel option in grub !

btw. is optimus-service active ? post infos

And as already shown by the output above prime is working as intended:

(even if you did cut and flip the output … there you have it prime-run shows the nvidia activated)

Please familiarize yourself with how that works.

(optimus-manager isnt required … its mainly used to choose one card or the other to boot into … even then … its janky in general … it doesnt bestow the ability to switch … you already have that)
