I can not seem to get rid of the lag and the stutters on my system. I have tried so many methods and nothing has worked yet since i started working on the problem about 2 weeks ago. I have tried web driver installs, CUDA drivers, nvda_dvr=1, every combinations of patches and injections and still the same result. I boot with clover. It shows up in system report with only having 3 MB of VRAM, maybe that has something to do with it? Any new ideas??

I have a GA-x99-UD5 with a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 and i7-5820k.

You are getting lag because of the boot argument nv_disable=1. If you have the Nvidia web drivers installed remove that bootflag.

The GTX 970 needs the Nvidia web drivers to work properly.

Try the below argument.
Code:
<string>nvda_drv=1 kext-dev-mode=1</string>

Also looking at your SMBIOS which I see is using MacPro 5,1 profile. I would try and change all that info as well. Below is what i'm using in my config. This will let Clover determine the best profile for your system.

Code:
<key>SMBIOS</key>
<dict>
       <key>Trust</key>
       <false/>
</dict>
 
So I found out that when I take away nv_disable=1 my system won't boot. It gets about halfway then the screen goes blank. It says theres a power management problem after it says it can't recognize the cpu...

EDIT: I found out my problem. The screen went blank because the HDMI port stopped working when I booted without using nv_disble=1. I just switched to using a DVI port and it works perfectly :headbang:. Thanks for the help!
 
I'm having a similar problem. I can boot fine without nv_disable=1, but any sort of transparency effect, including rounded corners on windows, is a bit glitchy. On top of that, I can't open the preferences for my NVidia card. Any ideas?

EDIT: Maybe I shouldn't boot in safe mode. That fixed it!
