[solved] nvidia driver not working and gpu is not being detected

[slate thistle]

I use a intel/nvidia laptop . i downloaded all the required nvidia driver and utils required for my gpu to work but for some reason my system is using integrated intel graphics instead of my rtx 3050 card.
The repo i used for reference for installing nvidia drivers was https://github.com/korvahannu/arch-nvidia-drivers-installation-guide along with looking at the arch wiki. I would really appreciate some help.

i installed nvidia-open, nvidia-settings , nvidia utils and lib32-nvidia-utils

This is the output i get after running this command

$ lspci | grep -i --color 'vga\|3d\|2d'

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation TigerLake-H GT1 [UHD Graphics] (rev 01)
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA107M [GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile] (rev a1)

First thing that worked for me on my GPU was PCSX2.

I think what you need to do is to set your primary Vulkan renderer to your Nvidia GPU.

Just to test the waters and see if the drivers work, access whatever game folder you want in your terminal and use this command:
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=1 <your_game_executable>

I wanted to play CS2 but i can't find it's executable outside steam

Not very familiar to Steam, but doesn't it have some sort of option to open your game's root folder?

You can also search for it on your file manager.

Do it from your drive's root directory, though, to make sure you're searching all of it.

okay i found it let me try

linuxsteamrt64]$ __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=1 cs2

shows cs2 : command not found

This is the folder

alternative output :

My Processor : Intel i5 11400H
My GPU : Nvidia RTX 3050
Laptop : MSI GF 63 Thin
