With Enabled, both IGPU and NVIDIA will be activated and will work under Optimus mode. Such Technology is not supported on Non-Apple computers when running macOS and you must disable it. Few manufacturers such as Clevo, Razer Blade, Lenovo and Dell, do give the option to disable on some of the selected models. If you disable it under BIOS, no need to patch the ACPI to disable the dGPU. However, if you keep the option enabled (to use it on other OS), you need to patch ACPI to disable the dGPU.
