ruru Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) Hey there, I've been researching for a fix for nvidia gpus on newer systems than 10.13 and using opencore legacy patcher it seems that some pascal gpus like gtx 1050 are working with opengl pretty good, my question is that if it is possible to disable my igpu on my laptop (intel UHD 630) and use only the gtx 1050 with max q design because the hdmi output only works with the dgpu and I want to use an external monitor which is much better than the laptop integrated display. Any kind of help will be very useful. Thanks in advance. Specs: Laptop: Acer Ntro 5 AN515-52 CPU: Intel Core i5 - 8300H GPU: Intel UHD 630 / nVidia GeForce GTX 1050 with max-q design RAM: 8GB DDR4 Bootloader: Opencore OS: Monterey 12.6 Edited November 6, 2022 by ruru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruru Posted November 6, 2022 Author Share Posted November 6, 2022 Ok now I'm completely sure that my laptop doesn't have optimus, I don't know why but I followed a tutorial to disable optimus and without doing anything some features like nvidia shadowplay work in the desktop and shouldn't work if optimus is enabled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
