Nvidia-390xx drivers don't work on nVidia GT635m GPU

I have followed this guide https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA but drivers don't seem to work.

If I enter lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)" i get this:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
    Subsystem: Lenovo 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller
    Kernel driver in use: i915
--
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 635M] (rev a1)
    Subsystem: Lenovo GF108M [GeForce GT 635M]
    Kernel driver in use: nvidia

That looks like an Optimus laptop, check the wiki for more info.
