[SOLVED] Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080/1070

What issues are you having with?

Works ok for me, except sleep.

Didn't you say you're staying at ElCap? Me too. My HD530 issues in ElCap are just sleep and having to hot-plug the second monitor after boot. However, I was talking about Sierra. I read people are complaining there was some kind of regression with the HD530 (UI glitches), which is kind of surprising, given that the top-tier new 15-inch MBP uses the HD530 as iGPU.

Keeping it means they plan a future for it.

Given the chaos they're producing at the moment and their ridiculous lineup, I don't think anyone at Apple has a plan for anything, besides raising their profits with as little work as possible.

I've read people have issues with Sierra and the HD530, hopefully new updates fix the issues since the new dGPU based MPB's use the HD530.

Under El Cap it works perfectly fine for me, even during heavy work.

I really need CUDA though.

Hi,
I finally decide to plug my old GTX670 back for Mac OS.
Now I have two video cards on my Mobo, the PCIe X16 is GTX1080, and PCIe X4 is GTX670.
My monitor is connected into each cards with DisplayPort. (My monitor has two DisplayPorts.)

The monitor is working properly on both cards on Windows 10.
But when I boot to Mac OS, monitor only gets no accelerated signal form GTX1080 but GTX670.
(The System Information is recognizing GTX 670 successfully)

I found some post mentioned this kind of build only works on setting primary display to GTX670.
But the BIOS of B75M-D3H looks like only support these selections: iGPU, PCIeX16 and PCI .

Is there any way to set the init display to PCIeX4 on B75M-D3H?
Or any other ways to make GTX670 works with unsupported GTX1080?

Thanks a lot.
Sorry about my poor English.

Here is some information of my build:
Mobo: Gigabyte B75M-D3H (BIOS F15)
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1230v2 (No iGPU)
Graphics: GTX 1080 (PCIe X16), GTX 670 (PCIe X4).
OS: Mac OS Sierra 10.12.1
Driver: Nvidia Web Driver 367.15.10.15

Solved.
The problem is SMBIOS.
Change SMBIOS to iMac14,2, then GTX670 works perfectly.

Guys, look, I know everyone's impatient, but I think I've fixed the problem.

Y'see, I've had my PC on the desk with a GTX 960, waiting for Pascal drivers so I can slot my 1070 in there and put the whole thing back in the alcove under my desk. Since it's a pain to do that though, I've had it on the desk, waiting...

Today, I got the shits and closed it all up and put the PC back under the desk with the 960 in it... which means according to Murphy's Law, nVidia will release pascal drivers so I'll have to drag the whole thing out *again* to swap cards. So if the drivers get released in the next couple of days, you'll have me to thank for it.

You're welcome.

You may have confused your Murphy's with your Sod's law.

While Murphy's law says that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong (eventually), Sod's law requires that it always goes wrong with the worst possible outcome.

Perfectly? Does that mean no artifacts or flicker at the top left corner? Because that's the only issue I've had under Sierra (the first version of macOS I installed on this system).

Reading all the above (phew) I get the impression that for the average (not super-expert) Hackie builder, the thing to do is wait

I have already managed to max out my GTX970 and am salivating over the prospect of a 1080 "someday" -- but it looks like "someday" will be at least 6 months from now, when Sierra is stable (and braver souls than I have figured out the implications for Hackintosh-land) and NVIDIA has released web-drivers for the 10xx cards. At least that's my "executive summary" of this fascinating but discouraging thread. Am I getting the message?

The solution I found now is easy to do. I also was waiting for the 10xx drivers since the series was announced, by I don't want to wait another 6 month or god knows how long. I had the luck of having a Intel 4600 Onboard, and the only thing I needed to change in my hackintosh was "Inject Intel" in Clover and thats it. Now to go to Windows I just need to switch hdmi cables and Primary output source in my bios. Hackintosh graphics run butter smooth no difference to my Gtx 750 ti from before and on windows I finally can enjoy 1070's glory.
