Graphic/display issues
ATI Radeon 6490M / 6750M, 6770M
Your GPU is failing. This is a widely known defect in the Radeon GPUs on these MacBook Pro models.
The 2011 15” & 17” MacBook Pro actually has 2 GPUs inside.
One is the AMD Radeon GPU, and the other is an Intel GPU.
With the removal of an EFI variable and 1 resistor, the AMD Radeon GPU will be completely disabled, and you will never have to worry about it again.
You will now be using the very reliable Intel HD Graphics 3000 GPU only.
These have been running in the MacBook Pro 13” Early/Late 2011 without any issues at all.
Repair and clean the fans, heatsink, apply new thermal paste to the GPU/CPU $250 All in.

OS X 10.13.6 (High Sierra)
As far as we know 10.13 (High Sierra) offers no advantages over 10.12 (Sierra). But...
Apple totally redid the video drivers in High Sierra, and now checks if the EDID of the LCD matches what Apple likes to see for that model against a new table. If the EDID of the LCD does not match for the Mac model then the backlight controls will not work. And worse, after the machine wakes up from sleep the backlight is not turned back on at all.
With the new repair in place the EDID of the LCD obviously does not change. But I suspect that Apple somehow interprets the Mac to be a different model (maybe the 13-inch one that never has the GPU?) and causes this anti-repair mechanism to kick in.
To solve this issue the new repair that PRESERVES the backlight control in High Sierra.
The new repair writes the 'gpu-power-prefs' nvram-variable to the ROM so that the Mac does not use the (dead) external (discrete) AMD GPU anymore. If the user clears the NVRAM (PRAM) there is no problem as the new repair will write the record again, and the Mac will work again.
