quakeN Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Hello. I have a problem on my first hackintosh. Its a laptop - Acer Aspire 5742g. I will put a video with my problem. I enabled Nvidia WEB drivers but nothing has changed. I patched VBios in clover configurator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_bZQKlRy2g Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/322029-acer-aspire-5742g-graphics-problem-on-boot-and-when-opening-apps/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
polyzargone Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I enabled Nvidia WEB drivers but nothing has changed. I patched VBios in clover configurator. You can't use your NVIDIA GPU because of Optimus technology which isn't supported in macOS. You need to disable it with a DSDT/SSDT patch since I doubt you can do it in Bios (I own a Aspire V3-772G and there's no option to do it so I presume it's the same for you). I followed for mine but obviously you'll need to adapt it. Good luck !

Could you help me by any chance? 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/322029-acer-aspire-5742g-graphics-problem-on-boot-and-when-opening-apps/#findComment-2387501 Share on other sites More sharing options...

quakeN Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 try DSDT.aml.zip Still when I go About this MAC > Graphics it shows my Nvidia card. Maybe its like that because I installed a kext for my NVIDIA card. Before that it was saying intel chipset with like 2-3mb. After I installed the kext it started showing my Nvidia gpu. The graphics were still buggy.
