I tried with the efi of the 10.12 that works great now ... does not work!
I tried with the efi that you provided in this post ... does not work!
I'm stuck on the ram-2000 line (I'll provide an image if necessary but it's common for you in comments)
I made a third attempt .. update from 10.12 to 10.13 to the 950 pro and as we corresponded yesterday .. still can not identify it in the system
**reminder**
I have a motherboard asus x99 a2 (like yours)
The i7 6950x processor (like yours)
Video card gxt 1080 (Pascal like yours)
The EFI folder of 10.12 will not work with 10.13! The EFI folder attached to my 10.13 High Sierra Desktop Guide however should work. Moreover as we have an identical system configuration. I also got many times stocked in the ram-2000 line with subsequent crosses many times before, but with the current EFI configuration I definitely passed this problem.
But I guess your problem is certainly a different one! How can you perform an update from 10.12 to 10.13 to your 950 pro?
To do so you would have to
1.) first clone your 10.12 SSD to your 950 pro, which you can't as it is not recognized by Sierra.
2.) Then you would have to install the 10.13 EFI folder on the 950 pro, which you also can't as the 950 pro is not recognized by
the system.
3.) Then you have to boot with your 950 pro, which however does not have any Sierra installation nor an EFI folder, as it is notrecognized by Sierra.
4.) Then you would have to download, run and install the 10.13 macOS High Sierra Installer/Updater on your 950 pro underSierra, which you can't because you cannot access your 950 pro under Sierra
Thus, the easiest way for now is a clean install of 10.13 macOS High Sierra onto your 950 Pro!
Follow precisely my 10.13 macOS High Sierra Desktop Guide to do so!
For updating from Sierra to High Sierra on your 950 pro I can imagine the following procedure:
1.) You clone your 10.12 Sierra system disk to a do a SSD/HDD test drive, then you install the 10.12 EFI folder on the SSD/HDD test drive and boot Sierra on the SSD/HDD test drive.
2.) Then you follow Section "System Upgrade from macOS Sierra 10.12 to macOS High Sierra 10.13" in my 10.13 macOS High Sierra Desktop Guide, upgrade macOS Sierra 10.12 to macOS High Sierra 10.13 on your SSD/HDD test drive and complete the post installation process.
3.) Once High Sierra is successfully set and fully operational on your SSD/HDD test drive, you clone the 10.13 HDD/SDD to
your 950 Pro and also install the final 10.13 EFI folder of your 10.13 HDD/SDD on your 950 Pro.
4.) Then you boot with the 950 Pro and voala! you are running 10.13 macOS High Sierra on your 950 Pro
During the entire update procedure proposed above, your actual 10.12 Sierra System Disk will not be touched at all!
Alright?
Good luck!
