I'm pretty sure my SSDT turns off the card, if you have a 9700 it should work for you. I'm able to get down to a total drain of 12 watts. I think running 8 cores on a 17 inch screen results in a decent amount of drain, though it could be a USB issue keeping me from getting even lower power...
EDIT: I ended up unlocking CFG, still can't wake sleep. Must be some of my settings (either OS or BIOS).
I didn't do the CFG unlock. Also don't know how to extract BIOS settings. No luck with changing the various settings.
I don't really know why you're having the thunderbolt/HDMI issues...
Fixed it, still can't wake from sleep.
@tph33 are you on Monterey? I'm on 12.1. Your EFI needed BlueToolFixup.kext, IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext, latest version of AirportItlwm.kext and IntelBluetoothInjector.kext removed. With just those changes + SMIBIOS, I can boot and get...
Thunderbolt hotplug for DP + normal seems to be fine for me. I'm using a lot fewer TB SSDT/kexts than you.
Tried your EFI without changing anything except SMBIOS + Serial number info. Booted but still no sleep. Do you know what settings you have for Hibernate mode? In Hackintool (version...
I see you used a different SMBIOS as me. I wasn't able to get my screens working using the MacBookPro16,4 SMBIOS you used and therefore opted to use iMac19,1. I think that's also the cause of my sleep issues, since I tried changing the Sign of Life BIOS option and still can't wake from sleep...
Good to know- my USB map is working great. I think sleep actually may have worked before when I was using USBInjectAll. I'd like to hear if yours still works when your dGPU is properly disabled and with Bluetooth working, if you get around to trying that.
99% sure it's the dGPU, my SSDT turns it off. Can get 8 hours of battery without undervolt.
I'll check out the BIOS settings but I think is probably the CFG lock that's killing sleep for me. Not gonna reinstall at this point but may maybe down the road- I don't really NEED sleep.
Hey, thanks for uploading. The WEG flag doesn't seem to effectively disable the dGPU as I'm seeing much higher power draw if I only use that flag and not my SSDT. Are you running on AC power so you haven't noticed that?
Which sleep/hibernation mode do you have set up? You're able to sleep...
Are you saying you are getting the dGPU to shut off with the regular SSDT? It's not loud when I'm using it for basic tasks - are your fans running a lot? Mine are generally off.
Sleep is broken for me, did you do anything to get it working?
I think I got it to turn off. If someone wants to use my SSDT (it's modified, not the exact version on Dortania) and see how it works for you, please report back. If anyone has any improvements to build on this, I'm all ears.
I see what you're saying. Tried your SSDT, no luck. It actually does seem like the SSDT-NoHybGfx.aml brings the power draw from ~35-40w down to 20w, so it's possible that the _PS3 call is actually working. But I also don't know if 15w for a D3 dGPU is actually normal so I'm not even sure it's...
