I did not install bumblebee, I was trying to say that I don't want to install bumblebee. Because I don't want to break my system. I also heard that bumblebee could hurt graphics performance in games. My intention is to use Nvidia only.
For the Intel part (plasma desktop) set this to the correct opengl mode and use full screen rendering for Tearing Prevention (VSync) in the compositor settings.
For nvidia you'll need to use the Nvida control center as root and with optirun:
Code:optirun nvidia-settings
remember in order to use the nvidia chip applications need to be launched with either optirun or primusrun, the latter being the preferred method.
Code:primusrun firefox
