系统为10.8.3，10.8.4，10.8.5，10.9.x,10.10.x可以设置为最佳分辨率，一般可以实现QE/CI，有特殊机型的，内屏接口为EDP的，只能实现CI(10.10以上版本已经无此功能)！

 This guide was made for users who have a computer with a 2010 1st Generation Intel Core i Series processors with Intel HD Graphics. Check your computer before proceeding.

This guide is an all in one place to find information about your computer with a 2010 1st Generation Intel Core i Series processors with Intel HD Graphics. This guide focuses on OS X, Apple's most advanced desktop operating system.


If you are interested in installing OS X on your PC (the world apparently uses the term "PC" to stands for Windows computers) because your tired of Microsoft and Windows or because you want to experience Apple's most advanced and clean operating system, then look around the InsanelyMac forums for guides and ask questions. Come back here to read this guide when your computer has everything working on OS X except for the Intel HD Graphics IGPU.

IGPU: Integrated Graphics Processing Unit. Your 2010 Intel Core i Series processor contains an IGPU called Intel HD Graphics.

The primary purpose of this guide is to help you to enable the Intel HD Graphics IGPU. Again, this guide is only for computers with a 2010 Intel Core i Series processors.

 

In 2010, Intel released its 1st Generation Intel Core i Series processors with Intel HD Graphics (codenamed Arrandale for laptops and Clarkdale for desktops). 

苹果在2010年年中发布的MacBook Pros笔记本电脑，这些处理器包括英特尔IGPU和一个专用的NVIDIA GeForce 320M或NVIDIA GeForce GT330M独立显卡。这些MacBook Pros笔记本电脑包含了一个叫做GMUX的设备，允许OS X在低功耗的IGPU和强大的NVIDIA图形卡之间进行切换。

普通PC没有GMUX设备，这就意味着，如果你的电脑有一个独立显卡（ATI Radeon或NVIDIA的GeForce），你将不能够在OS Ｘ切换到独立显卡，您将只能够使用英特尔高清显卡IGPU。检查BIOS设置，看它是否有能力禁用IGPU的。

GMUX: MacBook Pros笔记本电脑上的设备，帮助OS X在独立显卡和IGPU之间自动多好的。

For computers that only have the Intel HD Graphics IGPU, it is important to enable it on OS X so that you can utilize its full potential when working with hardware accelerated applications. Keep in mind that a dedicated graphics card will always have a better performance than an IGPU. For the average user, the Intel HD Graphics IGPU is sufficient.

 

In order to get the best experience in OS X, it is important to enable the Intel HD Graphics IGPU. Without the IGPU working, everything will be software accelerated, which means that everything that requires hardware acceleration will put complete stress to the CPU and cause your computer to run slow.

There are two technologies in OS X called Quartz Extreme and Core Image. To make things simple, Quartz Extreme accelerates the overall desktop experience, so that means that animations, games, and hardware accelerated applications will be rendered by the IGPU. Core Image on the other hand accelerates image processing which also is rendered by IGPU.

The Intel HD Graphics IGPU is fully compatible with Quartz Extreme and Core Image. However, because of some differences between computers, not everyone can enable Quartz Extreme. Look in the Hardware Requirements section for more details.
 

Apple calls OS X as the world's most advanced desktop operating system. Not only is it advanced, but its clean and beautiful. By enabling Quartz Extreme and Core Image, the Intel HD Graphics IGPU will run at its fullest potential, making OS X run smoother and faster. With QE/CI enabled, a wide range of applications are available to install and use.

For the best native OS X experience, it is recommended to get a clean copy of OS X from the App Store. Distros are not recommended due to unnecessary changes and other unnecessary bloat. Support Apple by purchasing OS X Mountain Lion for only $19.99.

*This guide currently supports OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and 10.8.4.

 

1. 2010 1st Generation Intel Core i Series processor (Core i3, Core i5, Core i7)
2. 2010 1st Generation Intel HD Graphics IGPU (Already integrated with 2010 Intel Core i Series processors)
3. Minimum of 2GB of RAM
4. Minimum of 8GB hard drive space
5. OS X compatible webcam for FaceTime and Photo Booth
6. OS X compatible external or built-in microphone for Dictation
 

设备ID必须是0046或0042方能支持！

 If your not sure if you have 1st Generation Intel HD Graphics IGPU, go to System Information and click on "Graphics/Displays". In Device ID, it should either say 0x0046 or 0x0042. If it's completely different, then this guide is not compatible with your computer.

所有的计算机都能启用Core Image，但是，Quartz Extreme并不适用于所有的电脑，这是因为内部显示连接方式不同。

Core Image Requirements (CI):

1. Internal LCD uses the eDP or LVDS connection

Quartz Extreme Requirements (QE):

1. Internal LCD uses the LVDS connection

If your computer uses the LVDS connection, then you can enable Quartz Extreme with Core Image (QE/CI). If your computer uses the eDP connection, you can only enable Core Image (CI) at this time.

For computers that use the eDP connection, follow the steps in Enable Only Core Image (CI) section. For computers that use the LVDS connection, follow the steps in Enable Quartz Extreme with Core Image (QE/CI) section.
