How to enable 'Kaby Lake' Intel 6xx Graphics (10.12.6+)

Is there any benefit of enabling my iGPU (HD 630) when I use a Nvidia Geforce 970 GTX?

Bumping this. I have the same question.
 
Hi, sorry a bit OOT, assuming the HD630 is fully accelerated with quick sync enabled in your system working in tandem with your RX460 what's your Bruce X FCPX test result? No one shared RX460 bruce X test yet. thanks

The PC's are not mine, and I gave them back so cannot run benchmarks.

Some applications such as FCP, compressor,... make a great use of the hd630 for h264 encoding. Safari uses the hardware acceleration for video decoding.
So, it can definitely help, but it depends on the application you use.

All graphics cards today have hardware based encoding/decoding but perhaps that is enabled on Nvidia drivers?

Kaby Lake iGPUs has also encoding/decoding of H.365/hevc, that not all GPUs can do today Only supported by High Sierra Beta
 
Hi RehabMan, with ig-platform-id 0x59120000 i have connector-type <00 08 00 00> on all Framebuffer connectors but it should be <00 04 00 00>. I try inject Intel via Clover with empty ig-platform-id (Clover inject 0x59120000 in this case) and with ig-platform-id added. I try inject Intel HD 630 properties via ssdt. Always have HDMI connector-type on all FB connectors. Do you have any idea what this could cause? Thanks.

hi I notice that if you apply "change GFX0 to IGPU patch" all connector change to 00080000, if you dont apply this patch the connectors are 00040000... I don't know the reason, but I'd like to know if we need this patch or not on KBL graphics card / 10.12.6

also, I'd like to rearrange the port order but It is not working.

GFX0->IGPU is for IGPU PM.
 
GFX0->IGPU is for IGPU PM.

Any idea why it's causing the change on port connectors? I can screenshot this behavior tonight....
Also I will check the the power management on intel power gadget without this patch
THANKs!
 
@RehabMan , could you advise?
CPU/GPU are I7 7700K / Intel HD 630 running 10.12.6 Sierra
My computer seems to work very better without this patch, the including the GPU PM....I did two test with GFX0 to IPGU patch ON and OFF...

Exporting 4k video (the same project)… Look the images attached…
Patch OFF: without the patch, the GPU reach 1.1ghz (max utilisation), the temperature was around 50 degrees and around the same time I had almost 30% exported
Patch ON: With The processor was running 100%, the GPU run almost all the time around 500mhz (it didn’t use full capacity), the temperature was 70 degrees and on the same time I had less than 10% exported.

EDIT: HAHAHAHA I wrote in the wrong place on the image, the Temperature graphic is the last, but the behavior is really worst with the patch ON

I've tried converting video using MacX video converter Pro with intel hardware decoder on, looks like I get max around 500mhz too, same as you, in intel gadget

how are you able to to use HD 630 without GFX0 to IGPU patch?

without GFX0 to IGPU patch after clover boots my display (connected to DP) goes blank.
