[Solved] Enabling Quick Sync for iMac 13.2 (HD2500) with Nvidia GT 710

[neilryan]

I managed to install Sierra on my HP 6300 MT thanks to this awesome guide by trs96.

I use FCPX on my previous hacks and I want to have quick sync on this one. Is it possible? The hardware acceleration will definitely speed up video editing and exporting. specs below

HP 6300 MT - i5 3570
4GB RAM x 2
Nvidia GT 710
using profile iMac 13.2

I managed to do it on my skylake hack thanks to another guide here but I think that only applies to iMac 17.1 profile.

I may have found a fix.

changed the iMac profile from 13.2 to 14.2
mounted EFI and opened config.plist in CC
in ACPI, added the patch change from GFX0 to IGPU
in Graphics, checked Inject Intel and entered 0x01620007

hit saved and rebooted. now I have hardware acceleration. FCPX export sped up from 5 minutes to 1 minute.
