rapidan Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 So I have a laptop with the 1st gen Arrandale. It supports only Core Image if running Mavericks. My question is, would it be worth running El Capitan without QE/CI support? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nawcom Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 According to this guide, you can get CI (and QE for LVDS instead of eDP) working past 10.9 which includes 10.11: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/286092-guide-1st-generation-intel-hd-graphics-qeci/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapidan Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 The way I've read that link is if you have eDP you have to use Mavericks to enable CI. That's why I am asking about using El Capitan without acceleration. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nawcom Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I totally missed that line - you are completely correct. I guess you are stuck with 10.9 max. I wouldn't say it's worth installing 10.11 at all with this unfortunate limitation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
