Arch not detecting my graphics card

I'm hoping this isn't a stupid question, I've looked around but I haven't had much luck finding a solution yet. So I have a Lenovo Yoga 720 15", which has like an Nvidia 1050 or something in it, but for some reason in arch the only thing that is showing up is Intel HD Graphics 630. I've tried lspci and hwdetect and a few other things but I don't see it listed anywhere, Should I just go ahead and install the Nvidia driver and hope it shows up after that? I tried installing drivers and it just told me it was already good to go and installed for the the Intel HD 630. I'm sure this is probably a dumb question, but I appreciate any insight you can give me!

Thanks!

Read this carefully and decide for one of the options https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus

Edit: If it isn't listed in lspci, you might have the dedicated card disabled in your UEFI/BIOS

What is 'it' in this context?
How did you install Arch?
