Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file and add the following line:
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
Update and install drivers:
aptitude update
aptitude -r install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') nvidia-kernel-dkms
Create an Xorg server configuration file:
mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
echo -e 'Section "Device"ntIdentifier "My GPU"ntDriver "nvidia"nEndSection' > /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf
Reboot
Debian-wiki
Edit
To switch between driver intel/nvidia run nvidia-settings from the terminal and choose the driver.
