Disable Dedicated GPU Question

So I successfully installed Sonoma on a MacBook Pro mid 2011 OCP Patcher everything is working fine except some of my music plug ins that require metal graphics are not working visually they are just blank although they are working to affect the sound of things.

I tried everything from installing the non metal versions (they don’t load at all) to forcing Mac to run metal graphics (this did nothing) I was thinking of using DosDude patch to disable the dGPU entirely and maybe this will make the graphics work on the plug ins since the computer won’t be running the dedicated graphics at all and I’ve read elsewhere these plug ins are only compatible with certain graphics cards that run metal … before I try this has anyone done this and do they recommend this before I brick the whole computer and have to start over…

Also worth noting the gpu doesn’t really work because it needs to be reflowed. Whenever the Mac tries to use anything graphics intensive or get hot or if I plug an external monitor i get blue lines and fuzzy picture this was the main reason for installing OCP patch as it brought this computer back form the dead. ☠️

Thanks for reading and your advice!
