Nvidia PRIME is broken. Or rather just under-implemented, in completely inept manner. Nvidia simply didn't implement routing discrete GPU over integrated one with PRIME.
You can can read Nvidia own documentation next time, instead of random forum posts and avoid spreading false claims:
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/415.27/README/randr14.html
So I'll repeat what I said - avoid this garbage.

It is NOT broken , it works as intended. I personally use it.

Again , they're working on Optimus to be like on Windows ; there won't be no need to select gpu via gui.

I don't see what is the problem , it works. Despite you call it broken.

"Working" you mean. Optimus exists since 2010: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2010/02/09/world-meet-optimus/
Nvidia surely were diligently working for 9 years on supporting it... And after 9 years it's not even working as it should. It's called garbage support. If you want to waste money on garbage - it's your own problem.
