I think that in my Config.plist (used EFI from here https://hackintosher.com/guides/high-sierra-install-full-guide/  and edited by me)

It is beter to leave it to the profis like Maldon!

THX Maldon,

 

I've just tried and everything working PERFECT! The Benchmark scores are little bit higher! Only glitch what I have had before is still present:

Sleep works perfect but after shutdown my LED´s on Motherboard are still on! Under the Windows 10 after shutdown they are off.

What can cause this problem?

ERP Funktion was already disabled in Bios. I've just played with other settings, but none of them sims to solve the problem. I will just turn off the LED´s in Bios, till we found the solution.

Only problem witch I found at the moment are to many dropped frames in FCP 10.4 after replaying DSDT, but I still have iGPU Intel hardware encoding ON.

Just for the Info,

 

I have tested Sierra 10.12.6 with the same DSTD and there FCPX working flawlessly! 

 

Under HS 10.13.3 I have tested MacX Video Converter Pro with INTEL Hardware acceleration enabled and disabled:

56GB 4K RAW Video convert to FullHD .MP4 with > 9min 22sec

56GB 4K RAW Video convert to FullHD .MP4 without > 18min 46sec

 

Maldon, after applied DSDT my booting time is double longer... can it hang on AptioMemoryFix.efi?

I have updated HS 10.13.3 with the supplement update, immediately after reboot installed newest NVIDIA driver regularly and applied your DSDT.

Everything working perfect now, fast boot, iGPU Hardware acceleration ON, but FCPX 10.4 still has dropped frames.

I am using mainly Adobe Premiere Pro, so it is not a problem for me, because Mercury dGPU acceleration working flawlessly.

 

BIG THX MALDON!
