@gajaciosif:your EFI is great ! It is able to boot now ! Except it crashes not far after booting the kernel (the computer restart) :p But that's a great improvement (I have the exact same config as you, except i7-6800k/GTX980Ti)
See attached picture it crashes at this moment, sometimes just after mbinit

If restart then you must remove some drivers or add modifie, just play a litlebyt with setings

my problem its with my clock/time its very fast , also youtube video playback very fast ,and strenge behavior of mouse ,

left double click dosen,t open eny windows

nvidia webdriver its active i succeded to install but i tink its not working corecly or hase no suport yet..

Did you try npci=0x3000 and nv_disable=1?.

Yes, does not change anything. Since it seems that I have the same configuration than @gajaciosif I was thinking about some BIOS settings, but no luck so far. I will try to play with the kexts

wat kext you have in clover folder?

my boot flags are; -v npci=0x2000 nvda_drv=1 kext-dev-mode=1

or just -v npci=0x2000 kext-dev-mode=1

bios setings for this motherboard are default just AHCI its set from auto to enabled

here its my usb install EFI folder just mount and delete your folder and use mine maybe you have lock

Another think i noticed it,s the (OsxAptioFix2Drv.efi) do not use. Evry time when i used this driver my sistem dosen,t boot

enymore, it stuck on memory error. maybe its just with my sistem i dont now!

Now I have managed to get it past ++++++++++++++++++++

But after it loads kernel --somewhere while loading the OS ..it freaks out and reboots.
 
So I finally have Sierra Installed. I had to use System Definition MacPro5,1 to get it going. It seems that the moment I use 6,1 the display sleeps.

To get it past the ++++++++++++++++
1. Make sure you only have the min required drivers in the drivers64UEFI folder. For me this was OsxAptioFix-2000.efi, FSInject.efi and HFSPlus-64.efi
2. Use the USB3 Ports

To get past the kernel panics because of kexts ( remove kext from the kext folder in EFI ).
1. For Broadwell-E processors ( 6900K etc ) Do not use plugins within FakeSMC - it will KP.

Is there a solution for Nvidia 980Ti display off issue with System Profile of MacPro6,1 (?). I tried PikerAlpha's Clover patch - did not work. I also downloaded the script that edits the S/L/E kext file, - still no good. It boots fine to the point where the login screen should appear and then the screen shuts down.

Also - The NVMe is shown as external - How do I change it to internal?
 
My system is working although I'd like some clarification on some things...

I'm running a Gigabyte SOC Force X99 and the 5830K with a GTX980. In order to get it to boot, I can't have anything in the DSDT/SSDT folder "patched" on EFI.

Drivers64UEFI has:
EMUvariableUefi-64
FSInject-64
HFSPlus
OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000
OsxFatBinaryDrv-64

The only Kexts I have are:
FakeSMC
VoodooTSCSync

I had to use AGDPfix in order to get past the post install black screen after boot from the Nvidia Web Drivers but everything seems to work. Do I need DSDT or SSDT......? Am I missing anything?
