I understand this question has been asked before, but I'm still confused as to how it works and if I need to get anything else. Initially, this computer had been running Windows 7 and I had used it fine. I am now dual booting Ubuntu 13.10.

A few days ago I realized I shouldn't be running at the FPS I was running at due to having the Nvidia 630M and an Intel Family Graphics Card 3000. I had actually installed a Nvidia driver from the website and installed it, and my computer basically went corrupt. I had finally fixed it after ~2 1/2 hours and managed to get back in. Here I am, back to where I was, but I just installed Bumblebee to manage changing between the cards. I've installed nothing else relevant to changing graphics cards, or any other drivers. In my system details, my graphics is Intel Ivybridge Mobile.

I'm not sure if I have to run anything or if it runs automatically (IE; if I open Minecraft, will it use my Nvidia automatically?). I have looked at the tutorial and everything, but I just need some things clarified.

I've got a 750m in my system, and with Ubuntu 14.04 and the proprietary drivers (Available by going to: System Settings > Software & Updates > Additional Drivers)

I can enable/disable the card when I want, and set up profiles for it.

Bumblebee is a headache and I never got it to work the way it was supposed to.

How attached are you to using 13.10 ? I say update to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
