Explaination of the issue
The two guides uses different ssdt methods, and they can be unified into one single guide

The ssdts
Include possible fixes
Merge them into a complete guide about gpu, to put or in Opencore-Install-Guide or in Getting-Started-With-ACPI.
I like it the the "other" install guide has comments in the example .dsl. Very helpful!
I might add that
path/to/gfxutil -f GFX0
does not work, at least not on High Sierra. However,
path/to/gfxutil -f display
works.
Also, even though it might seem superfluous at this point in hackintoshing, I am convinced that it wouldn't hurt to mention where to eventually put that aml file.
A third one for laptop found lol; updated the comment
