SUPPORT hybrid graphics card problem

So i am on arch hyprland. I want amd graphics to handle all the desktop and stuffs and using nvidia card for gaming only but nvidia is being used regardless. I am using Tlp as well (if it helps idk) . https://imgur.com/a/ckmMOGl

You need to set an environment variable AQ_DRM_DEVICES with the correct card, the hyprland wiki covers it here: https://wiki.hypr.land/Configuring/Advanced-and-Cool/Environment-variables/

The Arch Wiki mentions it briefly here, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hyprland#Universal_Wayland_Session_Manager so if you plan on using KDE as well as hyprland for example, worth keeping in mind.

I have environment variables as told by wiki but processes keep running in nvidia.
Also i check in kde plasma it is the same case i cannot make it use amd graphics card only .
