Intel hd graphics 3000 driver mac как обновить

An EliteMacx86 Exclusive Guide - This guide covers fixing of Intel HD Graphics 3000 on macOS Mojave and macOS Catalina.

Overview

Recently, Apple announced their next release i.e macOS Mojave 10.14 for which we have been waiting for. macOS Mojave includes many new features. The most attractive feature is the Dark Theme and the GUI. With each release of macOS, Apple remove supports for old hardware. With the the release of Mojave, Apple has removed support for Intel HD Graphics 3000 Officially for all the Mac line up products from late 2010 and 2011. From Mojave, Apple does not supports any non-metal Graphics Card which requires at least Intel HD Graphics 4000, which is a metal capable Graphics.

A year later, macOS Catalina was released and fact that since Mojave, the Graphics isn't supported, unfortunately, the same scenario is with Catalina.

If you tend to install, you cannot even boot as the system is incompatible. However, even you trick by using boot-args and skip compatibility check, at the time of installation, you won't be able to select the drive on which you want to install. It will throw an error saying "This version of macOS 10.14 cannot not be installed on this computer". The system compatibility check can be bypassed by using a boot-arg and changing the SMBIOS in config.plist.

Users with Intel HD Graphics 3000 don't need to worry as they can install it and can also get the Graphics working with Full QE/CI. However, with the light theme, a weird darkish grey Menu Bar and Finder sidebar appears. With the Dark Theme, this issue is not present.

Before you start with this guide, please know something about the performance. Graphics enhance the performance and helps to work smoothly. In macOS, full acceleration requires that both Quartz Extreme and Core Image (QE/CI) should work together.

Quartz Extreme and Core Image (QE/CI) should work together to enable full acceleration on macOS’s GUI. It utilizes the complete Graphics capabilities. In case if you haven’t enabled QE/CI on your graphic card, you won’t be able to use your macOS smoothly and there would be lots of lags and artifacts, graphic related issues and poor refresh rate. Also the dock would not be transparent. Therefore it is very important to ensure that your graphic is working with full QE/CI.

Do those old cards support Metal after using the patch?

According to screenshots, Metal remains unsupported for those cards.

I don't think so. I tested on my Gigabyte P55M-UD2 - Core i5-750 - NVIDIA 9400 GT (built in 2009!!) Had to boot with NVIDIA Inject = True.

Here are the relevant screenshots:

I also wonder if this patch is similar to dosdude1’s patchers that you have to update that patch before performing a system update.

Here are screenshots from another old system I just tested. Seems to work pretty well!

Gigabyte H67N-USB3-B3 - i3 2105 - HD 3000

chris1111 makes some great plug and play installers.
anyone tested with hd2500?

Can you give some precision about how to install the patch? I suppose you have to install the OS first with a supported GC then patch to use the old one?
I've got a GT210 and no other GC (not even internal), I'm wondering if I could install Mojave or Catalina using this patch in some way? (may be piloting the install thru screen sharing or Remote Desktop?)

This is an installer so you should have a working Catalina install before you can use it. It is installing older kexts to System/Library/Extensions folder so updates if they replace the Extensions folder will kill the fix but you will just have to run it again. So it looks like it has Sandy Bridge HD2500 support and it should work for the gt210.

Intel HD Graphics 3000/4000 For Beginners

With the release of OS X Lion in 2011, Sandy Bridge-based Macs were able to take advantage of Intel HD Graphics 3000.

"For Mac computers with both integrated and discrete GPUs, some models allow you to use OS X to decide which GPU to use for rendering graphics. Other models automatically switch between discrete and integrated graphics depending on the task at hand."

Although most Macs were designed with integrated graphics and a discrete GPU, Intel HD Graphics 3000 allowed CustoMac builders a few options:

  • Use only the onboard graphics
  • Use a processor that supports Intel HD 3000 Graphics but designate a discrete GPU as the primary video source

If you are planning to use only Intel HD Graphics 3000/4000 on your CustoMac, here are a few pointers that may clear things up.
