[solved] ASUS K550VX

[Tweakker]

Hello guys. I have this laptop, ASUS K550VX with Intel Core i5 6300HQ Skylake with integrated Intel HD 530 graphics, nVidia GTX 950M 2GB, 4GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB 7200rpm HDD. I want to install El Capitan 10.11.6 on it. I followed the Installation Guide using Unibeast. When I'm booting from USB, the system freezes at different points depending on what kernel flags do I use. What do you guys recommend?

The Model that I have is ASUS X550VX-XX015D, as you may know there are different configurations on the market. The model that I have, has a maximum 1366 x 768 resolution, the screen is glossy is not matte, the refresh rate is 60Hz, so nothing spectacular. Stock the laptop has 4GB of DDR4 2133 Mhz RAM, I installed another RAM stick of 8GB. The laptop is very good in performance I get 60FPS on GTA V with settings on High/Very High at 1366x768, but the screen is not that great considering the resolution.

Okay Thanks for the info bro! It help!
Anyway i knew that Nvidia Will not work but only the Intel One. Can u confirm that?

Yes, on macOS only the integrated Intel video chipset works. I have installed Sierra on my laptop but I don't have the time right know to make it work 100%. It will take you a lot of time and it's easy to get frustrated. Good luck!
