I don't have any setups with an Nvidia gpu at the moment but the last
timeI had anything to do with it (about a year ago) I had installed
Ubuntu onsomebody else's laptop with hybrid graphics and Ubuntu
standard offers toinstall the Nvidia driver (Deb/Ubuntu package).
Everything worked perfectlyand there was an Nvidia tool with a gui
installed so that you could tunethe settings AND "disable" the Intel
gpu (presumably to save power).(I do not know what this means exactly
given the possibly complicatednature of the hardware connections).Does
the RPMfusion Nvidia driver not come with such a tool.If it does you
might be able to tune the Nvidia to do the things (CUDA) you want.

It's called nvidia-settings.
