I've booted from Ubuntu Trusty Live CD on USB stick. It didn't offer to install additional drivers (same as 13.10 and 13.4). I installed nvidia-331 and started nvidia-settings. It works, recognizes the cards and offers to switch between the performance mode (nvidia GPU) and standard (Intel).
When running glxgears, I got very small refresh rate, so I assume it's not actually using the nvidia drivers and that I have to reboot to do that. However, it does work better than before - nvidia-settings wouldn't start in my configuration. Is this enough information? Can I help some more?
