HD 3000 + GTX 560 Ti - can't get both working

Still getting KP on boot screen with GraphicEnabler/PCIRootUID tricks when display plugged on the HD3000, and not changing the fact that it is not listed when using the 560Ti.
I was getting the KPs with HD3000 and GTX570 HD. mrbubbles PCIRootUID=0 solved the problem the problem for me. I still get the same error as you do, however, no more KP.

bdmesg:
Using PCI-Root-UID value: 0
nVidia GeForce GTX 570 -4095MB NV1ff [10de:1086] :: PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)
ERROR: dcbtable_version is 0x3
ERROR: nVidia ROM Patching Failed!

It appears you have a HD3000 issue. If it makes sense, remove the 560, set init graphics to onboard and boot HD3000 only. If it won't boot, suggest changing graphics memory to 64MB (OS X ignores this setting anyway).

I'm gonna try that.
If it works what do I need to do next, put the 560 back (and keep PCIRootUID=0) and the system will keep it recognized?

In the BIOS, set internal graphics to always enable. You will see GFX0 in IOReg even when a display is not connect. That gives you AirPlay mirroring as well.

This setting is what had it working for me, no DSDT required at all. I get the occasional graphic artifact (some black lines in the margins of TextEdit and some pretty bad "static"/visual noise rectangles in Safari, but a reboot takes care of them quickly. They take a couples hours to come back, if they do at all.

Overall I'd say HD3000 + GTX 5xx works pretty well.
