Xorg packages For Intel and Mesa
xf86-video-intel xf86-video-vesa - I remove nouveau package since im using nvidia ( and its better on performance)
Nvidia Packages
nvidia nvidia-prime Hybrid Mode uses
nvidia-primeallows us to use prime-run (on demand GPU max 60fps)
- Add this Pacman Hook , Auto Update Nvidia Modules
/etc/pacman.d/hooks/nvidia.hook

vulkan-intel vulkan-tools gpu-viewer and installed Optimus manager QT , it comes with optimus manager as dependency
optimus-manage-qt bbswitch lightdm lightdm-webkit2-greeter lightdm-webkit-theme-aether-git bbswitch is needed so we can switch GPU with optimus manager
- lightdm is needed to properly switch GPU
create dwm session sudo vim /usr/share/xsessions/dwm.desktop for lightdm
[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Dwm Comment=Dynamic window manager Exec=dwm Icon=dwm Type=XSession change greeter-session and user-session

surprisingly all configuration for vulkan works out of the box same config for intel in arch wiki
[intel] DRI=3 accel= driver=modesetting modeset=yes tearfree= [nvidia] DPI=96 PAT=yes allow_external_gpus=no ignore_abi=no modeset=yes options=overclocking [optimus] auto_logout=no pci_power_control=no pci_remove=no pci_reset=no startup_auto_battery_mode=intel startup_auto_extpower_mode=nvidia startup_mode=intel switching=bbswitch my ~/.xinitrc
#!/usr/bin/env sh . ~/.xprofile ssh-agent dwm i do have this lightdm config installed by optimus manager
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/20-optimus-manager.conf
So this basically is the one responsible for switching the Cards during login and logout
[Seat:*] # Force using X type=local display-setup-script=/sbin/prime-offload display-stopped-script=/sbin/prime-switch Another thing to Add either on your .zshrc This is needed for vulkan to reference proper GPU like intel and NVIDIA
export VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.x86_64.json:/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json to check vulkan is working run

For MAX FPS use NVIDIA Mode By Setting it as Default Video Card On Startup
