  1. I have an E6430 with used a DSDT that disabled NVIDIA and a AptioMemoryFix.efi and HD4000 graphics are working perfectly.  I won't have use of the HDMI port,  but I don't need it.  I am running 10.13.2 with APFS, the security update and it's been solid otherwise.  The laptop runs much cooler with NVIDIA disabled and on macOS, I don't notice a difference in performance - HD4000 is more than adequate for my needs.  

     

    Thanks to Jake Lo and Bronxteck for their assistance.   

     

    So no, I don't have NVIDIA working.  But even when it was, I wasn't happy with the heat.  I like this better.

     

    I've attached my EFI - that should get you up and running on High Sierra if you can access your EFI partition and replace the EFI folder.

    I tried your EFI bootpack on my E6530 with A17 BIOS & 1366x768. (I got that laptop for free from recycle. I saw original 1080p screen got broken. I replaced it with 1366x768 screen replacement from dead HP laptop). Now, screen went down dim then 100% black when macOS is entering graphical installer or booting is done (10.13.3). I tried VGA. No signal. Any tip?

    Edit: I replaced DSDT.aml with another DSDT HD 4000 patch. Now, stuck at apple logo with wheel spinning here is example https://i.redd.it/m0ik3owl2th01.jpg

    I can't get graphical installer when boot is done

     

    I like to have the NVIDIA running for improving the graphic performance of Minecraft (for my son ;-)

    Oh, do not forget NVIDIA NVS 5200M is not designed for gaming like Minecraft. Intel HD 4000 has more fps than NVS 5200M.
