Is there any chance to get Nvidia Graphics work on my Laptop?

[PennyWise 0]

My spec :

Laptop MSI GS60-6qe

Intel Core I7-6700HQ

GTX 970m

Using Open Core 0.6.1

So basically i was trying to install Nvidia Web Driver on high sierra . In my config i already set nvda_drv 31 but when i tried to boot it . It stucks on Apple Logo and didn't load at all. The verbose line was running until it reached to Apple Logo load screen. If i replace nvda_drv to nv_disable=1 it work and boot to the OS normally(Probably it causes by Nvdia Graphic). In System Report Graphics show up as Nvdia Chip Model but there is no Vram on it . So my hope is if you guys have any idea how to fix it . I'm dual OS between BigSur and high sierra . Just want install high sierra to see if my graphic will work on high sierra or not.

You can try and disable Optimus in BIOS if that's available at all. That may force graphics to the dGPU.

 

I would also look at a different SMBIOS because you're using iMac14,2 at the moment; Ok it's one of the last Mac with nVidia graphics (Kepler) but it's a desktop, not a laptop. I'd consider the MBP13,3 (also fitted with an i7-6700HQ CPU) and you could always try to replace the board-id in your bootloader config by that of, say, MBP9,1 (Mac-4B7AC7E43945597E) or MBP10,1 (Mac-C3EC7CD22292981F) which both had dual HD4000/nVidia GT650M (Kepler) graphics. All in all, likelihood to succeed is low.

 

Ultimately, given that High Sierra is about to get out of Apple's support after 3 years/3 newer macOS releases, you may just want to forget about it all and simply disable your dGPU by SSDT in order to save battery time in more recent versions such as Catalina/Big Sur.

My hackintosh is already disable the dGPU on Big Sur. I just want to try high serria to know my GPU will work whether or not. I already changed board as you said but it didn't work out. Anyway thanks for the advice dude. I just have to gave up and move on to Big Sur
