I got dual gpu working on my Mac os x

Please check out this video:

Thanks for your video which showed some progress for Nvidia GPU Optimus in Mac OS X.

It's not normal for your Nvidia GPU without any display connected in System Preference.

It should show something as your Intel HD 4600.

As it's been stated so many numerous times before and for so many numerous years, a Hackintosh can only use either the integrated or the discrete GPU, not both. In addition, depending on manufacturer's physical implementation, you may only obtain some but not all display outputs, depending on your active graphics chip. For instance, the iGPU may get you built-in LCD and VGA or DVI outputs but not HDMI; and vice-versa.

 

So how would one configure their hackintoshed laptop to only use the nvidia chip? (Assuming the manufacturer's implementation would allow for the nvidia chip to control the LCD)

Hi,

I have Samsung Laptop which have Intel HD 4000 integrated and Nvidia gt 650m gpu. Optimus technology. I have been trying to run hackintosh on this laptop since 2012 but no success. I could install and run, everything works, just graphic does not work. Everything flicks and all system animations shown in frames. Neither integrated graphic works or nvidia. Please tell me how did you get it work smoothly. I don't care if both graphic card work or not, even one of them work that would be great.

Thanks
