I followed a guide for the m6800 mojave (which had a bootpack EFI folder posted) and it worked very well. You can google it, and it pops right up. Using this, the k2100m works natively and when you disable switching in the bios, it uses the quadro gpu exclusively. No black screen. I'm unsure...

Thanks for the tips.
Ah - now that you mention it, there are only g750j guides through High Sierra. Thanks, did not pick up on that.
AMD graphics should be fine for what I'm doing - nothing specifically requires nvidia or cuda and some future proofing for Mojave and beyond would be nice. Would hate to do all this...
Hi! I'm in the situation where I'm laptop shopping for something I can give the hackintosh makeover, and wanting to make sure I'm not missing any possibilities here. I'm wanting to run some specific software on the OSX side for audio/video creation, that has me looking toward the older/low end...
