[Guide] Mobile Intel HD Graphics / Clover or Opencore

ninjasptifire replied to MaLd0n's topic in Guides and Tutorials

I have an alienware 17R4 with a geforce gtx 1080 card and another onboard intel hd 630. However the screen is GSYNC and therefore I am not able to activate the intel card and install it in the Catalina version. Is there a way to activate this card or will it only work in High Sierra with both cards active?
