Nvidia GeForce GT430 Yosemite

1.You should have working Windows platform.Use GPU-z to extract the bios from your graphic card. Rename the file ( normally with .rom extension) according to the graphic card ID (You can see the ID also in the GPU-Z), into something like this : 10de_0615.rom
10de is common for Nvidia card, You shoul only change the second part according to the ID You've found out.
2.If You are using Clover as bootloader, put the 10de_xxxx.rom into EFI/CLOVER/ROM, add flag LOADVBIOS and thats it.
3.If You are using chameleon/chimera bootloader, put the 10de_xxxx.rom into Extra folder , and also add the loadvbios=yes in configurationboot.plist.
Thats is what it takes in short words. Good luck

hi,

As I dont have windows installed at the moment and only have Mavericks in laptop is there any other way to extract the Graphic card bios through MAC? I managed to get my graphic card ID from this website (https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/10de) and my card id is 10de_0dd3.

Thanks

Could you possibly give me some more detailed instructions? It seems a little confusing. Also, I don't have windows installed so is there any way to do it from OS X or in a virtual machine?

You could also read Vbios from the graphic card id DOS enviorment, that meaning You should have created usb DOS bootable usb stick , boot from DOS and with the nvflash comand you will read the vbios - but this way is a little bit more confusing for You as I can see.
From the virtual machine i think it will not work. Best way is to install W7 on sb stick (16gb) only in order to read the vbios.
Good luck

Ok I got it working with a different way and hope this will help others who are in same situation.

These are the steps I followed

1. Create installer USB with Unibeast 5.0.1 in Legacy mode for my laptop (Note not in laptop support mode - for some reason that didn't work for me and my graphic card wasn't recognized and wasn't working)

2. Boot in USB Installer with boot flag nvda_drv=1 GraphicsEnabler=Yes

3. Volla you are in installer with full graphic display and my graphic card is recognized.

Please note you might need additional keyboard and mouse kext which can be added to USB installer with any Virtual Machine.

So far wifi, Graphic card, bluetooth, Keyboard, trackpad and mouse is working. I'm getting issues with restart and reboot its taking 30 minutes to restart and reboot the system, only 1 USB port is working and rest 2 are not working, No audio, no HDMI (video & audio), iMessage is not connecting to my apple ID.

Can anyone help me with these issues please.......

Thank you so much! Genius!
Dell Optiplex Core i7 16gb Ssd 256gb NVidia Geforce GT 430 1024mb loaded graphics at full.
Only GPUZ rom extracted and loadvbios did the job!
Weeks of search ends.

Obs.: using CLOVER, not tested with chameleon/chimera.

Tried this method with my GeForce Gt430 and it didn't work. Got the same result as last time
