Glitches when spoofing HD 530 as HD 630

Glitches when spoofing HD 530 as HD 630

Hi, I am running macOS Sonoma 14.1.2 (23B92) on my Skylake desktop build. I only have a single ultrawide display connected to my dGPU.

  • CPU: Intel i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz
  • iGPU: Intel HD 530
  • GPU: AMD RX 580
  • Board: Gigabyte H170M-D3H
  • OC: 0.9.6
  • Lilu: 1.6.7
  • WEG: 1.6.6

In order to run Sonoma I changed my SMBios from iMac17,1 to iMac19,1.

I also spoofed my iGPU HD 530 as HD 630 to get hardware acceleration when encoding videos.

While the new OS mostly runs pretty well on this unsupported hardware I get glitches in some apps. So far I noticed:

  • Red backgrounds flashing in Safari when closing tabs (only briefly visible)
  • Garbled animated covers in Music.app
  • Color tint and split screen when using the new video screeensavers/wallpapers.

I tried to inject AAPL,GfxYTile with the value 01000000 but I didn't notice any changes. When I boot with -wegnoigpu to disable the iGPU the glitches are gone but so is hardware acceleration.

I also have a thread on the discord with lots of additional information: https://discord.com/channels/186648463541272576/1181166961212784770

Anybody have an idea how to get rid of these glitches while keeping hardware acceleration enabled. I am really liking some of the features of Sonoma and it fixed some bugs in apps that I use daily.
