Hello, i have recently purchased an EVGA gtx 970 SSC ACX 2.0 and I am having some installation issues. I was able to get it working at one point installing the web drivers but then I go the error requested memory exceeds our allocated relocation block. I was unable to boot back into the OS and i was forced to re install. From there i re-installed the web drivers and same issue. I re-installed once again this time i was more cautious. Although once I re-installed the web drivers and restarted the monitor just turned off in the boot process. I tried adjusting all of the boot flags with different combinations, but nothing. I researched all over the internet to fix the memory allocation error and i tried everything i could find. From slide=0 to re-installing clover and nothing worked. I can boot in using the nv_disable=1 flag. To install the web driver i used the one built for 10.10 because the one for 10.10.3 said that my build was incompatible (14D136). Then I updated it but still no luck. I also noticed that whenever i rebooted it seemed that the option for default os x graphics driver was also checked even when i selected the NVIDIA web driver option and rebooted. When i installed clover I chose use for UEFI booting only, a theme and checked all of the osx64 UEFI drivers. All help is greatly appreciated, thanks

The option in the system preferences is just cosmetic. You have to boot with the flag nvda_drv=1 to use the drivers. If the monitor turns off during the boot process it's likely caused by the system definition. Are you using iMac15,1 or MacPro6,1 by any chance?
 
I am using that boot flag as well as the Mac Pro 5,1 i can try changing it to 3,1 and see if that changes anything.

EDIT:

I changed the SMBIOS to Mac Pro 3,1 and it still did not work
 
Ok so I have fixed the monitor turning off. I fully disabled csm support and used dvi. The hdmi only works sometimes but for the most part it doesn't. I still get the OsxAptioFix error and I have to reinstall OS X to get rid of it. Please help
