How can I switch between graphic drivers?

I'm using Arch linux and I have got two video cards in a laptop without an external monitor. Video cards are intel and nvidia 720M. Intel is used by default and nvidia drivers are installed (I think). Here is the output from inxi -G:
Graphics: Card-1: Intel 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller
Card-2: NVIDIA GF117M [GeForce 610M/710M/810M/820M / GT 620M/625M/630M/720M]

Resolution: 1366x768@60.06hz
GLX Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Ivybridge Mobile
GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 17.0.1
And here is the output from egrep 'EE|WW' /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
[ 23.642] Current Operating System: Linux redshift 4.10.2-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Mar 13 17:13:41 CET 2017 x86_64

How do I use nvidia as my default video card? I use xfce as my desktop, if that's relevant.

Not sure how it works in Arch linux, but in general, you can create/edit anxorg.confto force the default drivers and card you want. Usually the location is/etc/X11/xorg.conf, google andman Xorg,man xorg.confetc. for details.

I do not use Arch so I do not know if they provide you with a installation package, but the easiest way to get this done is by installing the official nvidia drivers, they provide a tray icon to switch between the two cards.
Linkt to driver download
edit:
In arch you have to install the settings tool separately:

1. The OP states they've already installed the drivers. 2. Installing the proprietary drivers does not provide any such tray icon. What you are referring to is probably specific to whatever distribution and/or desktop environment you are using.

Yes they did: "and nvidia drivers are installed (I think)." Thanks for the edit, but are you sure that this tool you mention comes withnvidia-settings? It might, but I have been using nvidia cards and nvidia-setting for years and have never seen this thing. I think it's probably something specific to your distribution and/or desktop environment.
– terdon♦
Mar 17 '17 at 13:13
It is part of nvidia settings. I use the mate desktop and awesome wm, it works in both so should work in others two. He thinks the driver is installed, so he did not do it manually, so is is not installed if he uses arch. sometimes you have to think further than what is written ;)
