I have problems too with my new Gigabyte 1050Ti OC low profile connected to 2 monitors (one DP at 2560x1440 and one HDMI at 1920x1080):
• I had a reboot after a wake up from sleep (oddly, it does not happen amymore).
• I have to disconnect the DP monitor before booting or rebooting, otherwise i get blackscreen on both monitors.

My previous graphic card (Gigabyte 750Ti OC low profile) with the same connected monitors, did not show this behaviour and was working perfectly with this latest drivers.

So I guess it's more a Pascal architecture problem...

You dont have to unplug the displayport monitor, just turn it off @ the power button on the front. Once the boot is done turn on.
works for me with a 1060 with the same problem . You can run 2 monitors from 2 other ports but its the DP that is the problem.
I run 3 monitors and only got this problem when I added the 3rd to the DP port.

So I installed the web driver. and it reconised my 1080ti. I didn't need the edit the p.list.

Is this possible? or should I still update the plist

Recommend updating the config.plist. You can use MultiBeast v9.2.1, selecting just the following:
Graphics Configuration > NVIDIA Web Drivers Boot Flag
Build
Reboot​
 
Can confirm these drivers are working on 10.12.6, Z-170X-UD5 for GTX980 Ti FTX Gaming ACX 2.0+ and GTX 970 G1 Gaming, with the 970 G1 utilizing a Display Port output for boot/OSX. Acceleration works across CUDA programs, no artifacts noticed s far. Bios initial output is set to PCI (Gtx 970 G1).

The one issue I'm encountering is trying to install my third card, a GTX 980 Ti Kingpin. Upon installation, the black screen boot problem returns. I had this setup in my previous El Cap install with no issues. I've attempted the 3 GPU install in different PCI slots, different cables, different monitors... all to no avail. Have also attempted just using the 980tis with the same result. I can, however, boot the 3 GPU setup with nv_disable=1, with no acceleration and low-res output.

Internal graphics on my Mobo are disabled. I've yet to patch an SSDT fix via @shilohh SSDT GPU Injection, thought I imagine that might be the next step. Any other ideas aside from the SSDT patch?

current config.plist is attached.

Anyone have an issue with seeing multiple monitors with this latest update? In particular none of the Display Ports on my GTX 1060 FTW+ are recognized, only the HDMI port.
I'm running two monitors via DVI with my Gigabyte GTX 1060. I'll try Display ports tomorrow.
 
I got the 10.12.6 drivers to work with my GTX 1060. I used the emulated NVRAM fix described above -- my old Gigabyte board must not support NVRAM. I used the Clover installer instead of MultiBeast to make the change, FWIW.

Is there a solution for this beyond just turning a screen off ?
I have 3 x 4k screens and a GTX 1080ti - when I have 3 screens powered up, it crashes (mouse pointer in top left corner of one of the screens).
When I have only 2 ... it boots fine.
When I turn the 3rd on after boot, its fine.
Waking from sleep sometimes crashes. and I'm wondering if its related.
