How to make Blender Flatpak always use the dedicated Nvidia GPU?

For some odd reason that I can't figure out, the Blender Flatpak that I installed from KDE Discover only ever uses the Intel Integrated GPU on my laptop instead of the Nvidia GPU. The only way I have gotten it to use the Nvidia GPU is with switcherooctl, but that requires me to execute the command in a terminal every time I want to use Blender. Is there any way I can make the Blender Flatpak always use the dedicated Nvidia GPU in my laptop regardless of how I open it?

@TheMCNerd2018 did you end up figuring this out? Actually I just got it.

It eventually fixed itself after an update.

Adding __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 made Blender see my GPU
