Originally I wanted to make a live CD with this... However I gave up on that.
So Is there a way to do this, have ubuntu figure out which card is loaded, before loading a driver.
Or... How could I create a script to load at boot to "| grep pci... etc" and print for variable to run "activate_AMD.sh" or "activate_NV.sh" etc...

Ubuntu automatically detects which GPU is installed in your machine. If you want a script to switch between Nvida and Intel drivers I've found one you can modify here: bauca/graphics-switcher
It will require the program glxinfo which you can get by installing:
sudo apt install mesa-utils
One key function in the bash script that will interest you is this one:
function CheckForCurrentVideoCardInUse egrep "OpenGL vendor
