NVIDIA provider not listed

Hi everyone! I have an Intel Laptop with an Intel GPU and an Nvidia Geforce GTX 950M. I am trying to use prime tecnology, but when I run the xrandr --listproviders command, it lists only 1 provider (Intel). I tried to do the suggestion in the arch wiki, but nothing change. I have both nouveau and intel drivers. Running "lspci | grep VGA", I get the same result (only Intel GPU). Can you help me?

Try lspci | grep -E "(VGA|3D)"
It's most likely listed as 3D controller.

Ok, I can see it in that way, what should I do now to make it work?

Depends on which driver you're using/plan on using. Refer to the appropriate wiki page for your choice.

Thanks, but when I run the xrandr --setprovideroffloadsink nouveau Intel, it tells me: Could not find provider with name nouveau
