Best Archicad (23 and/or 24) settings for Mac with Intel graphics.

Because the GPU form my MacBook Pro (late 2011) died for the third time (first time replaced with Apple warranty, second time with my own bucks), I decided to not repair the computer and instead disable the AMD GPU and upgrade the macOS to Mojave (thanks to https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macos-10-14-mojave-on-unsupported-macs-thread.2121473/). After some trouble, operation went well and the MacBook pro is fully usable for all my needs except for Archicad. I was aware it wouldn't be a good solution for Archicad, and I've in account to buy a new MacBook Pro 16", but in meantime, what are best settings for Archicad with Intel HD 3000 Graphics (System profiler says with 512MB shared VRAM, Apple specs says at last 384MB)?
Should I disable both 2D and 3D acceleration? Antialiasing? And memory usage, it's about VRAM or system RAM? Should I reduce the memory usage?
