HI, no but HDMI not working to.
is possible used NVIDIA and HDMI in high Sierra?

@JDASOUSA12
NOP, discrete graphics are disabled due to NVIDIA optimus, apple doesn't support this.

Q. Is there a way to make Radeon or Nvidia graphics work in my dual-GPU laptop?

Not if the discrete card is not dedicated (eg. tied to the Intel device).

The discrete graphics capability in a switched dual-GPU configuration is not supported with OS X on hacks. Best you can do is disable the discrete part with SSDT/DSDT patches. See the prior question.

If your discrete device (AMD Radeon or Nvidia) is not routed through the Intel GPU, then it is considered dedicated. Some laptops have the internal display connected to the Intel GPU and the external HDMI/DP port connected to the discrete graphics device. It is rare, but in that case you would be able to get the device to work with the external display with proper kexts and correct configuration, much like a dual-GPU desktop setup.

We are figuring out a way to disable iGPU and use only discrete graphics

unless you can disable intel graphics in bios

or mod your bios to disable intel graphics, then yes, you will be able to use nvidia

Best to use Windows instead and create a virtual machine
can't you change it on BIOS?

Can you enter advanced menu in bios of lenovo legion y530?
