Are the nvidia drivers installed?
nvidia-inst
Check if it shows the nvidia driver installed. The above command should install the latest nvidia drivers as that card supports it.
inxi -Ga
The output still may not show the drivers installed. Then try envycontrol as you may need to switch graphics before it will actually show in the output.
You donāt want bumble bee. The other option over envy control is using prime.

Iām sure we did that, but we will do again and post the result.
Iām sorry, weāve had some issues with steam that needed some 32 bit library and we fixed that by running nvidia-inst --32.

As i posted above it sill doesnāt actually show the nvidia driver as loaded. But we do know that it is installed if you ran the installer and there werenāt any issues or errors with it. So currently it is using the Intel graphics. You now have to use either envycontrol, optimus-manager or prime in order to switch graphics to render on nvidia.
Edit: Which ever method works. I suggest envycontrol and or prime and possible optimus-manger. One of the three methods should work.
Edit2: I did go through this with another user that has a similar HP Victus laptop and optimus-manager did work on it with KDE.
The post is here: I fricked my system somehow by using nvidia-inst
So we should run paru -S optimus-manager-qt-kde, sudo systemctl enable optimus-manager --now and then reboot?
EDIT: Iām asking just to be sure because I believe thatās exactly what we did before.

No there is no paru package on EndeavourOS unless you installed that? EndeavourOS uses the AUR helper yay.
yay -S optimus-manager-qt
reboot
systemctl status optimus-manager
sudo systemctl enable --now optimus-manager
Edit: There should be a tray icon after. You may need to reboot again. 
But shouldnāt I rather use the optimus-manager-qt-kde?
The EndeavourOS wiki says:
And if you want to use it under KDE/Plasma it is recommended to build with _plasma=true to set inside the PKGBUILD
That package seems to do exactly that.
Anyway, we are going to try optimus-manager in school within a few hours and Iām posting results ASAP.

it works better than before.
Wow, when we enabled optimus manager and rebooted, icon appeared in the system tray.
When I click it and select switch to Nvidia, it asks if I want to switch GPU. When I click Apply, this happens:
This is the link in the alert window.
I click Ok and this message shows up:
When I clicked Yes, it logged me out. I logged in and the tray icon is not present, even if I start the optimus manager app from app launcher.
When I run optimus-manager --switch integrated, it says this:

It still looks like Nvidia is not installed properly, but we did the nvidia-inst.

Well this gives a good indication that it isnāt finding the nvidia. Iām not sure if itās not picking up the correct pci id or something? Did you try using prime also before?
Does the nvidia card show with this command?
sudo lspci | grep -E "VGA|3D controller"
Edit: If so it may require you to create a custom file like this adding the correct pci id info
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf
Example:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Driver: N/A means that Nvidia driver is installed but failing to load. No application will be able to use Nvidia GPU even with software like optimus manager.
@stepanzak please send output of
journalctl -k -b -0 | eos-sendlog
It should be a URL. Wormhole doesnāt work for me.
https://termbin.com/h2hj
Sorry, eos-sendlog doesnāt work.
Output of that command is:
0000:00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation TigerLake-H GT1 [UHD Graphics] (rev 01)
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA107M [GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile] (rev a1)
In nvidia-inst help is this:
āconf Create also file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf (might be needed on some systems).
Isnāt it what we need?
EDIT:
This is the output of nvidia-inst --conf -t (test mode shows the commands instead of running them if I understood that correctly):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
COMMANDS TO RUN:
pacman -Rs --noconfirm --noprogressbar --nodeps nvidia-prime

So only BusId is missing

looks like is common with the nvidia gpu of this model, some on ASUS TUF series had also this sort issueā¦
i dont know how or what connected this, but can someine check for me this can be connected somehow ?
=-)
Option --conf was needed with some older systems, in your case it shouldnāt be needed. But some kernel parameter specific to your system might be needed.
Did you check the Arch wiki about Nvidia cards? Also Nvidia site forum might have some more insight regarding your specific hardware.
Disable secure boot if enabled.
@stepanzak
Does this command show the nvidia hardware? Post the url
inxi -Faz | eos-sendlog
Also are you using grub or systemd-boot? If you have the 12th gen Intel you may need ibt=offas a kernel parameter.
Output of inxi -Faz is HERE.
Itās using systemd-boot and processor is IntelĀ® Coreā¢ i5-11400H, which is 11th generation.
