Where did you find the solution?

Right here at problem number 2 : https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/solving-nvidia-driver-install-loading-problems.161256/
If your version doesn't appear in the list, try finding the drivers matching to your version in Google. That's where I find drivers I needed.

Hello
So I'm aware of the changes that occurred with the new Nvidia Web Drivers. I've downloaded all the needed drivers for my GTX 960 SuperSC ACX 2.0+.
My motherboard is a Asus Pro-gaming H-170
I changed my config.plist removing ALL nvda_drv=1 and nv_disable=1
I checked in clover configurator NvidiaWeb and InjectsystemID in parameters
I also checked dart=0

It wont boot anymore... and I was never able to make the graphic card work.

NVIDIA has released alternate graphics drivers for macOS Sierra 10.12.0. These are separate from the drivers Apple ships as standard, and should be considered experimental. These drivers have been known to solve OpenCL issues with certain applications, as well as providing better native GPU power management for certain devices.

NOTE: These drivers are currently the only method to get full acceleration for NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750, 750 Ti, 950, 960, 970, 980, 980 Ti, and TITAN X 'Maxwell' graphics cards. There are no current Macs with these cards, so support is absent natively in OS X.

If you've installed the drivers before, you may get a notification to update to the new drivers from the built in System Preferences pane.

How to Install the Web Drivers:
In order to use the alternate drivers on a CustoMac, you must first install the driver package.

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. It can be turned on and off by editing /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/config.plist to add SystemParameters/NvidiaWeb. This takes the place of nvda_drv=1 boot flag, which will 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

Does anyone know how to use the NVIDIA Web driver and HIDPI? I don't see any reference to NVIDIA in this thread and some seem to have had issues when the device wasn't set correctly. Thanks!
