Skylake HD530 question

Hi!

 

I have the following configuration

 

* HP EliteDesk 800 G2 TWR

* MOBO HP 8053 (U3E1)

* Intel Core i7 6700 @ 3.40GHz Skylake

* GPU: Integrated: Intel® HD Graphics 530 with (2) DisplayPorts

 

I am trying to make the HD530 to work and I

 

1. Increased the memory of the video card in the BIOS to the maximim available 512MB (gave me a KP with the default option which was 32MB)

2. installed the HD530 'patches' on the config.plist of clover the following:

 

* `Graphics > Inject Intel`

* `Graphics > ig-platform-id 0x19120000`

* `Kernel and Kext Patches > 10.11-SKL-1912000-4_displays`

 

3. the last thing I did was to apply the glitch fix as it is described [here](http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/317551-glitch-fix-for-skylake-hd-graphicsupdate/)

 

4. `SMBIOS` is configured as `iMac17.1` (was testing it with `iMac14.1` but saw no difference)

 

Now when I rebooted during the boot process I get the following message (using -v) just before I get to the UI:

[iGPU] Will fallback to host-side scheduling if graphics firmware fails to load

The card seems to work with acceleration and have no glitch. And it shows in the system information as 

 

~~~

Intel HD Graphics 530:

  Chipset Model:  Intel HD Graphics 530

  Type: GPU

  Bus:  Built-In

  VRAM (Dynamic, Max):  1536 MB

  Vendor: Intel (0x8086)

  Device ID:  0x1912

  Revision ID:  0x0006

  Metal:  Supported

~~~

 

However [Cinebench](https://www.maxon.net/en/products/cinebench/) gives me on 10.12.2 approx 26fps. The same computer under windows 10 performs much better giving approx 60fps. Same applies for [LuxRender](http://www.luxmark.info/)

 

Given the message I see when booting, and the performance difference, is the HD530 working with full acceleration or not under OSX?

 

I have been using one monitor connected through the display port

 

Thanks a lot for your help!!

Hi,

 

I have not received any answer on this. But just in case someone refers to this post in the future

 

However I was reviewing my benchmarks and it gives:

 

* Geekbench Windows GPU = 21500

* Geekbench OSX GPU = 19300

 

* CineBench Windows GPU = 55

* CineBench OSX GPU = 28

 

* LuxMark Windows GPU = 2550

* LuxMark OSX GPU = 1900

 

So:

 

* GeekBench in OSX show 90% of the performance in Windows 

* Cinebench in OSX show 50% of the performance in Windows 

* Luxmark in OSX show 75% of the performance in Windows 

 

So I assume that it is ok since the support of the HD530 is not as good as in Windows

 

 

Thanks!

Hello sakoula, Dionusis here :)

 

Indeed it seems that there's difference in Benchmarks between a number of GPUs (including AMD & NVIDIA), and it all comes down to driver implementation.
