Solving NVIDIA Driver Install & Loading Problems

[MattyZ]

Have been trying to load NVidia Web Drivers, but running into problem #6

-Installed OSX 10.12.4 with Unibeast.
-After rebooting, opened Multibeast, and I checked the "NVidia Web Drivers Boot Flag" option in Drivers>Graphics
-Installed NVidia Web Drivers
-After rebooting, set the NVidia Preference Panel settings to use the NVidia Driver instead of OSX Driver
-After rebooting, OSX Driver is still active.
-Installed Clover with "EmuVariableUefi-64", set NVidia Preference Panel settings to use the NVidia Driver instead of OSX Driver
-After rebooting, OSX Driver is still active.
-Installed Clover again, this time with "EmuVariableUefi-64" and "Install RC Scripts on Target Volume", then set NVidia Preference Panel settings to use the NVidia Driver instead of OSX Driver
-After rebooting OSX Driver is still active.
-Tried disabling IGP in BIOS
-After rebooting OSX Driver is still active.

What can I try next?

[Idea: Is it possible that the issues have to do with SIP? When I check "crstutil status" it shows that SIP is enabled for NVRAM.]

***SOLVED*** Okay so this was the most "forehead-slapping" solution ever. I hadn't removed my bootable USB drive. So I think that for some reason Clover was still reading off of the "pre-multibeast" config.plist ...once I removed the bootable USB drive and restarted the computer everything loaded without issue.

Hey guys, I fixed my problems (after trying all solutions) by using display port, HDMI will not work. Hope this helps you!

Disable the IGP in your bios

You are the Hackintosh Yoda. THANKS AGAIN!

New build with GA-Z170X-UD3, i5-6500 and Gigabyte GTX1050 Windforce and 17,1 system definition. Using HDMI to connect to a single monitor.

I have done the config.plist edit and updated Clover to add EmuVariableUefi-64 and RC scripts. Based on Problem #4 I used KextBeast to install Lilu.kext and NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext. I still cannot boot successfully without nv_disable=1 (black screen / no signal).

I've done further reading but want to see if anyone has any direction to offer because I don't want to just start throwing things at the wall to see if they stick.

My issue is not listed. Where web driver has installed and lets me boot into it but the graphics are scrambled, torn, shredded with black background I can still see the dock and suff but when I click to open an application it is scrabbled within. system definition is iMac 14.2

I have tried all the troubleshoots.... I suspect I need an nvram plist?? and new config.plist. I have tried all system definitions only 14.2 works.
Please can someone help. Currently using OS Sierra 10.12.5

I dug out an old monitor and confirmed it is working using DVI. Cannot test DisplayPort at this point and would really like to get HDMI working.

From your profile it looks like we both have the same graphics card. Everything else works for me like LAN and sound. I can boot using nv_disable=1 but safari is buggy and unusable with iGPU. Hope slim can help....
