I have an optimus laptop installed with fedora 26 beta, nvidia proprietary drivers. It seems even though the session is a gnome wayland session over intel driver, games from steam are rendered by nvidia card. Weird enough steam itself shows Intel Haswell card when looked at the system information, also org.freedesktop.GlxInfo shows mesa as renderer. But I am certain that games are rendered by nvidia, because no way a Haswell chip can render a AAA game such as "The Talos Principle" on good graphics settings. I don't have any problems with this as I can play games without having to logout, but I am curious why it is happening.

As a side note, Fedora has libglvnd enabled and my nvidia driver is configured with nvidia-modeset=0, if that helps.

As said on other side, maybe this is just something inherent in the Optimus setup?
