What makes you think the card isn't shutting down? Have you followed the power management guide?
Hi @Askannz, yeah, I read the guide. I think my card is not shutting down because in integrated mode state if I run a game always use the nvidia card. With another tool as ubuntu prime inbuild and Pop OS tool the nvidia card does not working anymore in integrated mode equivalent.
Anyway, If I execute nvidia-smi show me the information for the nvidia card in integrated mode when should show me: nvidia-smi has failed because it couldn't communicate with the nvidia driver
Does it work when you manually try to switch the nvidia card off with bbswitch?

How I can do that?
Same issue here, the Nvidia driver still loads in integrated mode, making it identical to Hybrid mode, my card model is T550. What I want to do is force software to use the integrated Intel GPU, for troubleshooting purposes, so if anyone knows how without uninstalling the Nvidia driver, please tell me...

Just tried it, followed the Arch Wiki, by creating /etc/modprobe.d/bbswitch.conf with content options bbswitch load_state=0 unload_state=1 and /etc/modules-load.d/bbswitch.conf with content bbswitch. The result was that my system didn't boot anymore. Maybe a conflict with Optimus Manager? Or maybe I just did something wrong...
Found this in the system logs: Failed to find module 'bbswitch load_state=0'

I looks like you don't have bbswitch installed or the module may not be in your initramfs.

Yes, had to run mkinitcpio -P.
Bbswitch can disable my Nvidia GPU.
