GUIDE Intel HD Graphics 630 on macOS 10.12.6 and later

[EliteMacx86]

macOS supports a wide range of Intel HD Graphics but every graphics doesn't works out of the box. This guide will enable Full QE/CI on your Hackintosh. This fix is for Hackintosh users who are having one of these above Graphics.

Before you start with this guide, get to know something about the performance. Graphics enhance the 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. It utilizes the complete Graphics capabilities. In case if 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.

The following Kaby Lake Intel 6xx are supported

• Intel HD Graphics 630
• Intel HD Graphics 640
• Intel HD Graphics 650

Requirements

• Any of the above Supported Intel HD Graphics
• Original Graphics kexts in S/L/E
• macOS Sierra 10.12.6 or later

1. The very first step is to setup your BIOS. This guide will only include settings for Intel HD users.
2. To access your BIOS/UEFI, press and hold Delete key on your Keyboard. The key maybe different in your case. Refer to your Motherboard Guide/Manual.
3. Set Initial Display Output to IGFX
4. Set Internal Graphics to Auto/Enabled
5. Set DVMT Pre-Allocated to 64MB
6. Set DVMT Total Gfx Memory to 256/128MB
