Seems ok on both
Intel+NVIDIA hybrid Haswell + NVIDIA GK107M [GeForce GT 755M]
Intel+NVIDIA hybrid Ivybridge + NVIDIA GK107M [GeForce GT 660M]

Though both show an oddity in inxi reporting when on Intel with nvidia drivers not installed -
Ex.,
intel xserver not installed, no nvidia drivers installed, with the apparent Ubuntu default of DRI2 only

$ inxi -G
Graphics: Card-1: Intel 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller
           Card-2: NVIDIA GK107M [GeForce GT 755M]
           Display Server: X.Org 1.19.3 drivers: (unloaded: fbdev,vesa) FAILED: modesetting,nouveau
           Resolution: 1920x1080@59.91hz
           GLX Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Haswell Mobile
           GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 17.0.1

The same is reported if intel xserver package is installed.

If nvidia drivers are installed -

intel xserver not installed, nvidia installed, DRI2
$ inxi -G
Graphics: Card-1: Intel 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller
           Card-2: NVIDIA GK107M [GeForce GT 755M]

The same is reported if intel xserver package is installed.

If I was to enable DRI3 then more expected? reporting, doesn't matter if nvidia drivers are installed or not.

intel xserver installed, DRI3
$ inxi -G
