Laptop has:
Intel Core i7 4700HQ Processor
Intel HM86 Express Chipset
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M 2GB GDDR5 VRAM
The BIOS does not have any option to change the graphics to favor the Intel over the nVidia.
Unforunately, I cannot seem to get any OpenGL applications to work. I would LOVE to have JUST the NVIDIA card do everything (not really worried about the battery), but I need to get some OpenGL working on here or I'll have to change to Windows (this machine is for work, and I can use the apps I need on my other systems, but not yet on this one.)
