There's a bunch of posts in this thread from me and some others which

If you want to use your GTX1060 in Windows, boot into Windows with iGPU connected. Then switch to GTX1060 via switching your cable to your GTX card.

If your monitor has 2 inputs, then you can use it as a "switch".

thanks for answering
so, since my monitor has 1 Vga and 1 Dvi, I can connect my igpu to vga for example and my gtx 1060 to Dvi. will it work?

Yes that will work, BUT I'm not 100% sure if iGPU will have issues with VGA or not with macOS. People seem to have issues with HDMI without patches. You might have to patch it with something. But worth a shot.

DVI will work fine on the GTX1060 under Windows.

You might want to get a DVI switch for a more classier approach if VGA doesn't work on the iGPU. I use a DisplayPort switch.

VGA doesn't work at all with OSX, does it? DisplayPort, HDMI or DVI only, I think.

if i use the dvi port of the hd4000 and then use a dvi to vga converter and the vga port of the monitor will it work?
 
VGA worked with me on my el cap hackintosh system (GA-Z77X-UP4-TH, Radeon HD 6850 GPU). Three monitors, two connected to the 6850 (DVI-D and DisplayPort) and a third connected to the internal intel GPU via VGA. The VGA monitor was flickery but it worked. I used it mainly trying to get sleep to work, because there were reports that if you modified the BIOS to IGPU as primary, sleep would work, but doing that meant your discrete GPU wouldn't produce a signal until the login screen. Never got sleep to work on el cap, but again, VGA worked fine for me. YMMV.

No.

Get a cheap DVI switch and toggle between iGPU and GTX1060.
Or a new monitor with multiple DVI/DP inputs.
 
I'm still having problems, can't figure this out. I was given advice in another thread but now I can't find it.

Basically, I can get my HD 530 to work with accelerationusing HDMI but I can't go over 1080p (my display is 2560X1440) I was told to patch with CoreDisplay? I did that, at least I thought I did, but no luck.

When running the patch, I got this, and not sure if its supposed to be like this? Seems like its an error (I had SIP disabled also)
"/Users/Jim/Downloads/CoreDisplay-patcher.command: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'"


or is that what it should say?

I don't use HDMI on my HD530 but isn't HDMI on macOS limited to 1080p?

I don't know? I know my mobo is limited to 1080p with DVI. (i'm using HDMI cable to dvi adapter because my monitor has no HDMI) Although I used DisplayPort and that doesn't work either which I bought, and plan on returning.
