Asus VivoBook 15 X510 + Nvidia drivers

Hi, community!
First of all, sorry for my English.

I have brand new Asus VivoBook 15 X510 with two video adapters, there is onboard Intel and NVidia 940MX.

lspci show me that:

[alex@laptop ~]$ lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 620 (rev 02)
    Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. HD Graphics 620
    Kernel driver in use: i915
--
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM108M [GeForce 940MX] (rev a2)
    Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. GM108M [GeForce 940MX]
    Kernel driver in use: nvidia

The problem is, that I can't switch video adapters (in BIOS too, EzMode doesn't allow me to do it, it has no such option at all).
I installed Nvidia drivers (free or not, doesn't matter, I have tries all of them)  but my Gnome 3 still use Intel video adapter.

Google shows me how to switch between cards only on Win10 with installed NVidia drivers.

Any ideas, how can I  make NVidia works?

Thanks!

Perhaps by reading the wiki?

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan
