Can't get hardware acceleration to work with HD 630 on i5 7600k

[Duxa]

Hello all, I have spent several days googling and going through guides, doing reinstalls, changing configs, but I just can't get my Hackintosh to use hw acceleration of the i5 7600k's Intel HD 630. I am connected via HDMI, there is no discrete GPU connected at all.

About this Mac shows 14Mb memory.

Specs:

Motherboard MSI B250 Gaming Pro
CPU: i5 7600k
No discrete GPU

I can boot into Mac OS, but it's very very slow and the desktop background is just a white screen.

Here is my EFI:

Thank you!

Thank you!

use release versions of kexts

-igfxvesa needs to be removed if you want working graphics

Sorry, can you explain more? What do you mean by released version of kexts? Where do I get those?

and where is -igfxvesa located so that I can remove it? Thanks!

EDIT: found igfxvesa in OpenCore -> NVRAM -> bootargs

removed it... but now there is no display, it ges to boot manager, then does some text on the screen then the monitor turns off. (I am plugged into iGPU HDMI, there is no discrete GPU or any other display port/hdmi/dvi etc )

-igfxvesa is in your config.plist

you can get the release versions and not debug versions of kexts via github where you got the kexts in the first place, lilu, whatevergreen etc

Ok i changed

AAPL,ig-platform-id = <03001259>
device-id = <12590000>

now it boots, the about this mac does not show HD 630 at all.. things are a little smoother but still apparent that HW acceleration is not there.

00001259	Used when the Desktop iGPU is used to drive a display
03001259	Used when the Desktop iGPU is only used for computing tasks and doesn't drive a display

you should be using 00001259

Im going down a list and trying them all, so far, no HW acceleration.

Here is a question. if it boots, but there is no hw acceleration, is the only thing I should be editing the AAPL,ig-platform-id ? Or should I be messing with other values?

00001259 leads to a black screen after boot text (when its supposed to show apple logo with loading bar)

I have been trying to patch the framebuffers... but all end up with either a black screen, or a screen where half the screen is flashing white squares on black background, or these teal bars... here I made a video:
