This might be something obvious but a I don't see why chrome is not letting this person use the GPU. It's running the latest nvidia drivers, it's got a decent gpu. I don't see a message about it being blacklisted. Instead I see something about the GPU must be Intel, AMD, or NVidia which it is.

Wondering if the issue has something to do with the machine being japanese?

No, it's due to browser and GPU process blacklisting discrepancy that triggered the swiftshader.

Once  crbug.com/744658  is done, this will automatically be fixed.

I am getting there soon.

Another bug though, this seems like an OPTIMUS, only Chrome isn't detecting it.

The following revision refers to this bug:

commit 16d39b876bdf2560e499afe4625d02da76d3cd44
Author: Zhenyao Mo <zmo@chromium.org>

Get rid of GL string cache on non-Android platform

and no longer blacklist GPU access if preliminary GPU feature decisions differ
from full info decisions.

The reason we can do this now, is because the only GPU feature check that's not
from GPU process is kDisableAcceleratedVideoDecode on Android. There is no
decision difference on Android between preliminary and full info.

This should get quite a few Windows machines putting to SwiftShader back to
GPU acceleration.
