Nvidia-settings has almost no options - raytracing disabled too

okay so the optimus-daemon is active. please boot to the dark-screen, change to a console as before and login.
from there edit /etc/default/grub with sudo rights and edit the following:
at

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= .....

you add the following to the existing entries that are there

optimus-manager.startup=nvidia

store the file and run

sudo update grub
sudo mkinitcpio -P

after do a restart
