Does this one appear to be the same one?? The listing you gave ships from China.
Looks right except they don't show a low profile bracket which you'll need to have. Ask the seller if they include that. I don't like the statement "new other" in their listing. The seller I've listed has an excellent Ebay selller rating and ships anywhere in the world so it works better for our worldwide audience, viewers of this thread.

The seller I've linked to states they use ePacket mailing so delivery time shouldn't be excessively long.
i.e. the "slow boat from China" shipping service.

So, I started up my 7010 Mini-Tower this morning and graphics acceleration was disabled again. It seems like it's working every fourth or fifth reboot. Additionally, I'm having a problem where watching videos in the News app causes the system to freeze.

I have verified all my Kexts and configurations match the guide.

Need to fill out your profile with CPU, graphics and "D.O. 7010 MT" where it asks for you motherboard. https://www.tonymacx86.com/account/account-details

Here's my PR files.
Try removing the Intel Graphics Fixup kext from /L/E you don't need it. Also remove all the FakeSMC Sensor kexts you have in /L/E and in kexts/other. Also remove the extra WhateverGreen kext.

393030


Those can be problematic. Reboot and test graphics.
 
@smashabback as @trs96 said those kexts are not efficient and may cause issues.
The second problem is:
Code:
Kext with invalid signatured (-67030) allowed: <OSKext 0x7ffd38499230 [0x7fff9f9728f0]> { URL = "AppleIntelHD4000Graphics.kext/ -- file:///System/Library/Extensions/", ID = "com.apple.driver.AppleIntelHD4000Graphics" }
Remove that kext

Third problem: no IMEI loaded, missing SSDT-IMEI or Intel Management Engine is disabled on BIOS.
Without IMEI you won't have QE/CI.

I tried both solutions (and can't find where the Intel Management Engine is on the 7010 BIOS) and I'm still not getting accelerated graphics. Here's a re-upload of my PRs.

Thanks much for all of your help with figuring this out. I really appreciate it!

  1. You touched the vanilla kext, restore the vanilla kext and rebuild caches.
  2. Still no SSDT-IMEI.aml on ACPI/Patched therefore IMEI not loaded as can be seen on IOREG.
  3. Couldn't find any IMEI reference on your DSDT either which makes me think you may have it disabled on bios.
Try attaching screenshots of your BIOS configuration.

The Dell BIOS doesn't have the Intel Management Engine setting to enable or disable it. There has never been an SSDT-IMEI included in this guide before. So it probably wasn't necessary. What do you think ?

Thanks for the clarification here.
If that's the case then fine, that's an exception.
Update: But i just checked the second page of your thread from a Dell Optiplex 9010 MT user on this thread that posted PR files:
393067

There seems to be a IMEI device so as i expected there has to be a problem with it being disabled on BIOS.
Will check on my HP Elite, i know there is a setting for that, will take a shot and upload.
The reason you didn't need SSDT-IMEI previously is the fact that this IMEI device id may be supported natively so no need for fake id injection.
The other problem is AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext is modified, needs to be restored to vanilla kext.

Let's wait and see if the problem is fixed after the kext is restored but i don't expect that without an IMEI device.
