The directions to enable the Intel HD 630 are on the first post of this thread in the "Tweaks For Perfection" section. Look for "Enable IGPU For Quick Sync".

I don't know if the ssdt-usbx.aml file will work for your motherboard. You will need to check the first post at: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-usb-power-property-injection-for-sierra.222266/
Check to see if your motherboard meets the criteria to use included ssdt-usbx.aml file

I have checked First post and changed these also : ig-platform-id = "0x59120003" , IntelGFX= "0x59128086" ,Enabled "Inject Intel" , now how can i check if i have full quicksync or not ?

I have attached my config.plist also : config.plist

An easy way to confirm if Quick Sync is enabled would be use MacX Video Converter. You can get the free version at: https://www.macxdvd.com/mac-video-converter-free/

Click on the Info button to see if hardware encoding is enabled:

Got it , Thanks , also is it necessary to put this : IntelGFX= "0x59128086" ? as per my knowledge it should be supported natively with 18,3 smbios. also how to check whether sleep wake is properly working or not?

 

[pastrychef]

I had it setup with IntelGFX="0x59128086" and it worked so I never tested without it.

I don't know of any way to test sleep/wake other than to put the computer to sleep and wake it.

Okay got it , I have tried both using intelgfx value and without also and i can see Intel HD 630 in istatmenu but not anywhere else also playing video is only useing Nvidia as in usage bar that is at 0 every time but will try macx video converter once I reach home .

Almost everything continues to works well — its my only system now. In the last few days I've had an issue that could be pure Apple. I was reviewing some PDF files. Normally when I select a PDF I can hit the spacebar and see an instant preview. This time, as soon as i select a PDF in Finder, the revolving beach ball appeared and stayed until I had to Force Quit Finder. Today, I had the same thing with some picture files (jpg) on a USB. Normally when a select one, a preview shows instantly. Today, the beach ball appeared and stayed.

In both cases, after I restarted the system the files and applications behaved normally.Has anyone seen anything similar? Is this likely an 'standard' Apple issue?

I can't help much here... I don't really use the preview feature much at all. I always just open PDFs and images in the Preview app.

I just followed your guide with a similar hardware and wanted to know if you set your primary screen to PCI or IGPU, and if you choose PCI if you're able to plug a screen on HD630 ...? Thanks you

 

[pastrychef]

In BIOS, I think I currently have it set to Auto for graphics. But in the past, I've also used PEG and it also worked fine. I only have one monitor and never tried using the HD 530, but it should work.

Can you try please ?
Because I can't make them work ..

And when I use your IG platform it didn't work...
