How to Enable Intel HD Graphics (Haswell, Broadwell and Skylake) on macOS Ventura and Later
This guide covers fixing Intel Haswell, Broadwell and Skylake HD Graphics on Desktops and Laptops for macOS Ventura and Later. This guide supports both Clover and OpenCore Bootloader. By following this guide, you'll be able to achieve full QE/CI for your Haswell, Broadwell and Skylake systems.
Overview
macOS supports a wide range of Intel HD Graphics (also referred to as iGPU) but some of them might not work out of the box if you have not followed the Clover or OpenCore Installation Guide.
Before you start with this guide, please know something about the performance. Graphics enhance performance and helps to work smoothly. In macOS, full acceleration requires that both Quartz Extreme and Core Image (QE/CI) should work together.
Quartz Extreme and Core Image (QE/CI) should work together to enable full acceleration on macOS’s GUI. It utilizes the complete Graphics capabilities. In case you haven’t enabled QE/CI on your graphic card, you won’t be able to use your macOS smoothly and there would be lots of lags and artifacts, graphic-related issues, and poor refresh rate. Also, the dock would not be transparent. Therefore it is very important to ensure that your graphic is working with full QE/CI.
Unfortunately, with the announcement of macOS Ventura, Apple has officially dropped support up to Skylake, including IGPU support. If you check S/L/E, you'll notice that the support for IGPU is for KBL and later. This means Skylake CPUs will not have IGPU acceleration. However, there is still a workaround to get acceleration on macOS Ventura for Skylake users.

Requirements
STEP 1: BIOS Setting
The BIOS settings have been provided in a separate thread. For more information on BIOS settings, refer to the thread linked below.
STEP 2: Set Framebuffer
macOS/OS X supports a range of Intel HD/UHD Graphics devices, however not all the variants present in Hackintosh devices are supported out of the box. This is because Apple uses only a few selected Intel CPUs for its Mac lineup and therefore the framebuffer and other required properties exist within macOS/OS X drivers. However, when it comes to Non-Apple computers, this is not the case and therefore you need to set framebuffer with a valid
The next step is to set the framebuffer depending on your CPU Code Name. To set the framebuffer, follow the steps below
1. Mount your ESP
2. Open your config.plist
3. Depending on your CPU model and the Graphics, select the framebuffer from the table below and depending on the bootloader you use, add the following properties to your config.plist under
4. Once you are done with adding the properties, save your config.plist
Haswell [Intel HD Graphics 4200, 4400, 4600, 5000, 5100, 5200]
Native Supported Device IDs:
Broadwell [Intel HD Graphics 5300, 5500, 5600, 6000, 6100, 6200, 6300]
Native Supported Device IDs:
Skylake [Intel HD Graphics 510, 515, 520, 530, 540, 550, 580]
Native Supported Device IDs:
STEP 3: Add Kext
The next step is to add a different version of WhateverGreen.kext which allows spoofing SKL as KBL. This will allow booting into macOS without any need for additional boot args and extra configuration. In addition, it will fix video playback issues and the Sleep/Wake function (for Laptops only). To add the kext, follow the steps below.
1. Visit WhateverGreen for spoofing SKL to KBL
2. Download Artifacts from the Artifacts section.

3. Extract and copy it to your EFI/OC/Kexts. You'll also need to add the kext entries in the Kernel section of your config.plist.
STEP 4: Disable Discrete Graphics (DGPU)
If you're using a Laptop and if it has dGPU, you'll likely need to disable it. To disable the dGPU, refer to the guide linked below.

STEP 5: Configure SMBIOS
Depending on your Platform, you'll need to use a supported SMBIOS from the table below.
For more information on setting up SMBIOS, refer to the guide linked below.

STEP 5: Restart your System
After performing all the above steps, restart your system for the applied changes to take effect.
Now you should be able to get your Intel HD Graphics 5XX 1536 MB will full QE/CI. And your Dock would be also transparent.
