It may not ve very powerful but it's definitely more powerful than that.

Look at this:
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-HD-Graphics-4000-Benchmarked.73567.0.html

On Windows, they get around 30-40 fps with several videogames which
render much complex scenes than the ones that yield me 18 or less.

I don't get why that should be a limit. There's a GpuTest tool that
renders a single big triangle, and this gets around 1000 fps. By the
way, it consumes 50% cpu (i.e. one full core), showing that it's not
using any hardware acceleration, and that's rendering one triangle.

Is that reliable? Is there a benchmarking tool that can draw graphics
and actually tell me whether all of those feature are being used from
the GPU?

Title:
  No hardware acceleration out-of-the-box with Intel HD GPU

Status in mesa package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I don't know whether I am reporting this against the right package.

  I have an acer laptop with these GPUs:
  - GPU0: Intel HD Graphics 4000 (M)
  - GPU1: NVIDIA GeForce GT 710M

  with Optimus technology. I know getting the NVidia card to work is as
  complicated as hell, so I gave up on that.

  However, I expect the Intel GPU to work at its full potential out of
  the box.

  Instead, I ran several benchmark test tools and they perform very poorly, indicating that everything is being rendered by software.
  On moderately complex 3D graphics tests I get frame rates around 18fps, while on the most trivial tests (like a rotating horse with no texture whatsoever) I get 60fps at most.

  By googling around I've found some how-to's for getting hardware
  acceleration to work, but they are either unclear or incomplete or
  they contraddict one another, and none of them is official.

  I shouldn't be supposed to do perform complicated installations and
  configurations. Support for all the available hardware acceleration
  power, at least on the integrated GPU, should work right out of the
  box.
