I first noticed it when trying to develop something using WebGL. I tried to check to see if the iGPU was blacklisted. According to Kronos, it doesn't seem to be. When I got to check the gpu page, I noticed that not only WebGL didn't work, but there was no hardware acceleration at all.

I have searched to see if it was blacklisted by Chrome, but besides not finding anything, it made no sense, as iGPU from Pentium chips work with Chrome just fine.

No current active issues mention this chip either.

As the attached gpu page suggests, I have switchable graphics:
- https://ark.intel.com/products/75116/Intel-Core-i7-4700HQ-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_40-GHz
- AMD Radeon R9 M265X

However, I can't switch to the dedicated graphics as AMD locks its settings for some applications (web browsers, media players, etc).
