better graphics performance

Asked by nouha

I have new HP 15 Notebook PC (i3). Right now Intel Haswell Mobile is used for graphics. Is this ok?
 Can I get better performance by installing NVIDIA drivers? & Is there any way to install NVIDIA drivers for Ubuntu?!
I have installed Ubuntu 15.04, 64 bits..

Seems like it's just an Intel GPU...

Do you dual boot?
