Hey,
yesterday I tried it as you said but I did not get SC running properly.
I removed the driver (purge nvidia*) and set nouveau on the blacklist.
Then I install with apt-get the nvidia-331 driver. But the same issue was there.
If I open glxinfo I get the correct driver version for my nvidia card:
glxinfo | grep OpenGL
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GT 740M/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.3.0 NVIDIA 331.113
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.30 NVIDIA via Cg compiler
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile
OpenGL core profile extensions:
OpenGL version string: 4.4.0 NVIDIA 331.113
OpenGL shading language version string: 4.40 NVIDIA via Cg compiler
OpenGL context flags: (none)
OpenGL profile mask: (none)
OpenGL extensions:
But phoronix-test-suite detailed-system-info says:
Hardware:

What does phorinix test what glxinfo did not?
Maybe some driver sym links are wrong or something like that?
I think I should post the problem in an ubuntu forum.
Also I installed manjaro yesterday.
After about 3hours of installation try and error it was running. I did not get the EFI thing… Grub wouldn’t have it. So I found the CLI installation which did not need EFI and then it works.
Finally I get steam running and after an hour SC but the fps was also very low. I had the ybrid intel nvidia driver installed . I am sure I did something wrong but I don’t know what cause I have no idea of archlinux and pacman.
Edit:
Intel version of glxinfo
glxinfo | grep OpenGL
