New Method for Enabling NVIDIA Web Drivers in Clover

[mrfatcatt]

I got, it. I needed to add emu=64 entry entry in clover then select web driver in boot up.

Finally, it works.

what do you recommend for editing my config to load web drivers every time i boot.. pigram said if i open the config in a text editor it will get corrupt.

Yeah, I dunno, but I'm up and running, and I used CC - its nice.

I'm good! Woot!

Download my clover folder from link above and replace your entire clover folder with mine. See the magic....

I've tried everything so I decided to go with a fresh install. Once the install was complete I decided to try your EFI folder as another option. When I boot I see the new clover boot. I chose Boot macOS from Mac OS Sierra (my drive) and I see the Apple logo then it just reboots.
I did install the Nvidia drivers before using your EFI folder. I am just trying to activate the EVGA 1050TI

My Clover was tuned for Z170 and Z270 motherboards. I have done no other tweaks except USB 3 and TRIM. Many people have had instant success with it.

I would want you to double check
1. You are installing Sierra 10.12.4 only and not any lower version
2. Nvidia Web driver version 378.05.05.05f02 has been installed and not any lower.

You might also want to check if your BIOS settings for USB are correct
1. Disable Legacy USB support
2. Enable XHCI Handoff
3. Disable CSM (It should be under boot settings of BIOS)

Hi, I've been struggling to get mine working.
In fact I got the display to work (GTX 1060). But now it's wonky again. No sound either.
Would this work for 100 series motherboards?

Yes it should work provided you are on Sierra 10.12.4 and latest Nvidia Pascal driver. To get HDMI audio, have HDMIAudio.kext in clover/kexts/other folder. If you want to make onboard Realtek to work, search this site as I use HDMI audio only.

Champion
It works man. Just gotta figure out the audio!
Thanks a lot.

I verified the bios settings. Everything ok except CSM which I could not find on this H170N-WIFI board with F22 Bios. I appreciate your response but once I try to boot it only reboots to clover each time. I verified the Sierra is 10.12.4 and I removed the Nvidia driver then reinstalled making sure i am using 378.05.05.05f02. The card I chose is the EVGA 4GB Geforce GTX 1050 TI.
Edit. I went back to the EFI I had then started the boot. I went into options before booting to see the options. I noticed under Graphics Injector I see Model EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 TI but the InjectNVidia was not checked so I checked it and also left the Use NVIDIA WEB drivers checked. This time when I booted I notice the EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 TI 7 MB in the About this Mac. Looking at the Graphics/Displays I see the VRAM(Total) is 7MB.

I guess this is closer so I thought I should update this post.

Success.
I'm using the EFI built during the install. I had to open Clover Configurator then Install Drivers and choose EmuVariableUefi then uncheck Inject NVidia in Graphics. So not nothihg checked in the Graphics section. In Boot section i have darkwake=10,dart=0,kext-dev-mode=1 set.
My about this Mac now shows Graphice. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 TI 4096 MB.
Funny thing after reading all these great posts and trying things I'm not sure exactly what I have other than a working EFI now.

Can someone help.
I tried very much to get my gtx1080 to work.
no luck.

everytime the OSX default graphic drivers are loaded and NOT the NVIDIA WEBDRIVER.

can someone take a look at my clover settings and playlist.config?
help

This was the trick for me. I also needed EmuVariableUefi

Don't ask me about the other things I tried, and how I had to use Terminal from a recovery partition to mount the EFI and then vi to add back a vital bit of config.plist I had changed ... ugh.
