Hey all,
I've updated my desktop to macOS Sierra GM (i7-4790K, Maximus VII Gene, GTX 980 Ti), and have thus needed to update the nVidia Web Drivers to get full acceleration out of my 980 Ti.
I have Nvidia Web Driver - 367.10.10.05b01 installed.
Now my problem is that I get the classic "black screen" issue after loading OSX. my SMBIOS definition WAS iMac14,2, and after I did some research about AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy patches and all of that, I decided to switch my SMBIOS to iMac15,1 (better hardware compatibility?)
I've tried almost everything that there was to try in these threads:

http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/b...-imac-15-or-imac-17-system-definition.183113/
https://pikeralpha.wordpress.com/2015/11/23/patching-applegraphicsdevicepolicy-kext/
Pike's Clover on-the-fly patch doesn't work, AGDPFix.app doesn't work, various other Clover patches don't work, DSDT rename patches don't work...
EDIT: Switching back to iMac14,2 doesn't even work either ... ????
It all ends up at the same black screen (monitor signal loss)...Only way I'm able to boot and see desktop is w/ nv_disable=1...
Does anybody have any advice for me? Would be greatly appreciated!
