You might be out of luck depending on what hardware is in your
laptop. Google for "muxless"; if your laptop is muxless, switching to
the NVIDIA card won't get you any further than to a blank display. IIRC,
there's some file under /sys that has something to do with vgaswitcheroo
which would allow you to switch between the cards if you have compiled
support for it into the kernel. That will take you to a blank screen/no
video output, so make sure you use a script that switches back
automatically when you try it.
