We need to wait for the 4.0 release in order to expect anything usable. With 14.04 I played a lot of games via bumblebee and all worked without a problem, even for example Unigine engine tests etc. Without any tweaking or tuning and with a very good performance, comparable to Nvidia Prime (I have Nvidia 850M). So if bumblebee is a needed use case, I would recommend going back to 14.04 (at least until bumblebee 4.0 is released).
Well that Kwin script also did not work. I don't know why nothing works, you seem to have very similar laptop. I tried lots of distros and different DE's ( like Cinnamon, KDE, Mate etc ) nothing fixed. I tried other methods, editing xorg.conf, different KWin scripts. I think hardware companies are the ones to blame like Nvidia and AMD they really deserve a middle finger. Anyway I think I have to switch to Nvidia just for gamin and use intel for anything else. Because tearing is unbearable when browsing the web, scrolling, moving windows around and stuff. The problem is that games still suffer from tearing even in game vsync does not work on Nvidia. Thanks anyway!
