i wanted to create a hackintosh that supports quadro 1000m gpu ( igpu and optimus disabled in bios, set to dgpu mode and connected to external display via displayport )

im planning to install el capitan as i heard it does not have any artifacts or other gpu related issues in this system  im stuck on blank screen while booting throught usb drive. i have tried tluck's guide from https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285678-lenovo-thinkpad-t420-with-uefi-only/page/20/?tab=comments#comment-1952283 but still im unable to move past boot screen. p.s software isnt my kinda thing im more of a hardware type of guy i have currently windows 10 installed in this system. 

im attaching my bios setting images it is default settngs except for display which i changed to discreet, external monitor via display port and disabled optimus

At least ElCapitan (10.11.x) should be possible as is. 

I don't remember a family of Quadro 1000M so can't say more. Clover preboot.log may say additional info.
