Install the vulkan packages in that section I linked

So vulkan games can use the dgpu

But honestly nouveau does not have good performance at all and you might want to look in to using the old nvidia driver https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Installation
With EnvyControl or optimus-manager to switch between thr GPUs
