New Method for Enabling NVIDIA Web Drivers in Clover

[ranjithshegde]

My mobo is Gygabyte GA z97 HD3, with Nvidia GT 610. Will I need emuvariable in clover?

Thanks for the suggestion, I had gone through the normal fixes. I do use the iMac 17,1 definition, but the config edit fix didn't work. I actually tried a few of the fixes on that linked post just to rule them out.

Like I said originally, the web drivers worked with my 10.11.6 install, thought it took so modification. Same modifications dont work with 10.12, and neither do any other normal fixes.

Seems like someone else should be having a similar issue.

Got the same MB and a GTX 750Ti... Running latest version of Clover..3763. Just use AGDPfix.app and you should be good to go. System Def 17.1

Yesterday night, I updated to the latest version of Clover, then updated to Sierra. Prior, I was using nvda_drv=1 and the AGDPFix.app on an iMac17,1 SMBIOS. I booted to the installer with nv_disable=1 on my GTX780 and I got it to install. After installing the Web Drivers and running AGDPFix.app again on OS 10.12.0, I was able to boot with nvda_drv=1.

Is that boot flag not actually working? Nvidia Web Drivers are enabled when I boot into Sierra. Is it because I have a 780?

ASUS Z170-A is mobo

I've ran clover now for a couple of years without a problem with my Geforce 650 Ti. It ran native without the NVIDIA Alternate drivers. In the process of upgrading from El Capitan to Sierra I have to include the command nv_disable=1 or my screen goes black. I've tried the NVIDIA Web Drivers with no success with the new commands without success.

Does anyone know (or how I can find out) if the GeForce 650 Ti graphic is still compatible? I can run my backup fine of El Capitan.

Additionally I'm using iMac 12,2 profile if that makes any difference.

Same predicament as you, brother.

Although, I have GT 610. And I have been trying to fix it since developer preview 1. Tried all the methods described here, even learned how to do the dsdt editing just for this.

One of the moderators has gt 610 and he is going to try it on his rig. If he has success and shares it, I will share it with you.

You can keep using native onboard graphics if you have them and are compatible. I have intel HD 4600

Do you have a sense as to whether this means the older disable flag is also moot? Just trying to get a sense of how to go about upgrading my systems. e.g., change the setting before upgrading and rebooting.

As of macOS Sierra, nvda_drv=1 in config.plist under Boot > Arguments is no longer working to initiate drivers. Clover has been updated with a new System Parameter setting called NvidiaWeb.

There's a new method for enabling the NVIDIA Web Drivers in the latest versions of Clover (r3751+). It can be turned on and off by editing /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/config.plist to add SystemParameters/NvidiaWeb. This parameter takes the place of nvda_drv=1 boot flag, which may not work in macOS Sierra.

1. Mount EFI Partition
2. Open /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/config.plist with text edit, Xcode, or Plist Editor Pro
3. Edit as shown below:

    <key>SystemParameters</key>
    <dict>
        <key>InjectKexts</key>
        <string>YES</string>
        <key>InjectSystemID</key>
        <true/>
        <key>NvidiaWeb</key>
        <true/>
    </dict>

4. Remove Boot/Arguments/nvda_drv=1 if necessary
5. Save and reboot

Hi all sifu,

"
Code (Text):
<key>SystemParameters</key>
<dict>
<key>InjectKexts</key>
<string>YES</string>
<key>InjectSystemID</key>
<true/>
<key>NvidiaWeb</key>
<true/>
</dict>
"

I have tried to use this method, however, my Mac went into a boot loop (keep rebooting).
If I disable this and only use "Graphic inject Nvidia" with or without "boot with nvda_drv=1", then my GTX 950 detected correct, however, it just shows 0MB.



If I manually add VRAM under Graphic with Nvidia injection, everything seems correct with one issue, the graphic is chopping like hell and can't be used at all.

By the way, I updated my Nvidia driver to Nvidia WeDriver-367.15.10.05f01.

Please advise , thank you in advance.

Worked for me thx a lot! Just a hint from my side... as soon as you edit config.plist as shown above, you can't just use clover configurator anymore 'cause it will remove the NvidiaWeb-key. If you edit your settings using clover configurator you will always have to manually edit config.plist afterwards and re-add the key.

make sure you don't inject NVidia in Graphics section, if you do, set the key to false.
