After I switch into the nvidia mode, after some time KWIN starts to freeze - cannot move pointer, type anything, etc. though programs continue to work in background, sound is playing etc. The same situation is on the external HDMI monitor.

With Optimus manager, in it's GPU mode, I have had no such error.
I've tried to look into the journalctl when freezes were starting, but there was nothing signaling about any errors at the same time.

EnvyControl during my tests was installed both by pip from source and via AUR.

Can you attach the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file content?

I don't have it.

/etc/X11  ls

Is there any error displayed when you run sudo envycontrol -s nvidia?

No, not a single one.

Already testing it. But currently I've found nvidia-mode obsolete for my needs.
USB to HDMI, in my case type c adapters are working perfectly fine in any mode. Even in the integrated mode I can use external monitors.
Thankfully, laptop vendors didn't ruin it and video signal that goes to CPU in any case is routed via CPU, which eliminates problems with physically connected to GPU HDMI port.

Now I cannot switch into the nvidia mode, after reboot it's still staying in the hybrid mode.

Same result with both sudo envycontrol -s nvidia and sudo envycontrol -s nvidia --force-comp --coolbits --verbose.
Into the hybrid mode i switched without specifiyng RTD3, with command sudo envycontrol -s hybrid.

 sudo envycontrol -s nvidia --force-comp --coolbits --verbose

@MatveyM11 post the lspci output since EnvyControl relies on its output to detect the iGPU vendor (which is AMD on your system)

I can't narrow down the problem without it

@MatveyM11 please test with 3.0.3 update

Now I succesefully switched into the nvidia mode. Nvtop also shows that the rtx 3050ti used as a primary GPU.

But now I need to wait and check is the KWIN freezing problem gone, because sometimes it's was starting severl minutes after load of the new session and sometimes after hours of the flawless usage.

I think the same, for sure it's a kind of a problem with NoVideo aka Nvidia proprietary driver. Though strange that this problem not occures with OptimusManager.
