If you're looking to buy a discreet GPU then my advice would be to get one with better performance and compatibility than HD530. There is a hierarchy chart here https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...-2016-hierarchy-chart-by-toms-hardware.81325/Hi all,
If i use a compatible discrete graphics card and use the hdmi out from the motherboard, will it wake from sleep?my idea is to buy the cheapest card to get the wake from sleep working and not to use the card's output which will be worse than the integrated gpu hd 530.
Thanks.
You can see where your HD530 currently compare against discreet GPU's from the chart and depending on budget you can see what card you could stretch too. This way you could get good graphics performance and move away from HD530 altogether. Best compatibility in macOS Sierra would be Nvidia at this time.

Be aware that just adding a graphics won't automatically allow your system to sleep/wake. There may be factors preventing sleep/wake but at this time HD530 would be the main factor.
