HD3000 and AMD Graphics, Working Together
OS X support of HD3000 integrated graphics and AMD discrete graphics separately; one or the other, is well known. For Sandy Bridge systems with HD3000 integrated graphics and AMD HD 5xxx or HD 6xxx discrete graphics, both graphics systems can be fully enabled at the same time in Lion. Easy to set-up; plugin the displays, set the bios and restart.
Requirements
1. Sandy Bridge motherboard (1155/H67/P67/Z68)
2. Intel HD3000 IGPU (i3-2105, i3-2125, i5-2405S, i5-2500K, i7-2600K, i7-2700K)
3. DSDT (tonymacx86.com DSDT Database)
4. Chimera 1.7 or newer
5. OS X 10.7.3 or newer
BIOS settings (Gigabyte H67N-USB3)
Advanced BIOS Features
BIOS settings (Asus P8H67-I Deluxe)

Steps
1. Backup system
2. Note current BIOS settings
3. Plugin Displays (User Preference)
5. Restart
HDMI Audio (Requires Audio ID: 389/392, dsdt/kext edits - Lion HDMI Audio)
1. HD3000 HDMI audio
2. AMD HD 5xxx/6xxx HDMI audio
3. AMD HD 5xxx/6xxx DisplayPort audio
Test System
1. Gigabyte H67N-USB3 dsdt Download
Notes
1. KPs: if your system KPs on boot, unplug HD3000 display, restore previous BIOS setting and restart
2. Artifacts: if your system has HD3000 artifacts, it is likely artifacts will continue
3. Freezes: if your system has HD3000 freezes, it is likely freezes may occur
