How to switch to a discrete card in arch linux?

Installed x-org, kde 5, driver nvidia, bumblebee. When I get on in the browser, after a while the pages start to slow down (the picture is distorted). Or, for example, I go to play agar.io and the picture freezes from time to time. I think this is due to the fact that the integrated video card is used and bumblebee does not want to switch from integrated to discrete on its own. How to set up automatic switching of video cards or switch them manually.

In Linux (in all!) there is no automatic switching of hybrid graphics cards.
All are switched manually.

Only in Ubuntu you can switch the video card to Nvidia using PRIME profiles, in other distributions only Bumblebee.
