Im at the end of my tether. It doesn't matter how many guides I follow, I just can't get it to work.
Brand new build, I chose parts off the parts list in the thought I might be able to sail through the process. Everything seems great except graphics. I've followed the guide on here, put lilu and fixup in kexts/other etc etc. It always either stops at the the end of the apple logo loading screen or gives a black screen with the cursor (until i click, then the cursor disappears)

Please let some legendary brainbox come along and make my year!

Oops, my bad. Thank you, I'll attach it tomorrow.
 
Well chaps I'm posting this from my lovely 4k system. Thank you so much! I was already using display port n333rd. Turns out I had to change "other OS" to windows 8 in the BIOS. This then gave me access to CSM which I could disable. After doing that, my resolution was suddenly 4k. I started from scratch, fresh install, updated to 10.13.2 (definitely need fakeSMC in kexts/other btw, even after installing with multibeast in the previous version). Then followed the guide BreBo posted. Awesome. So happy! Thanks again.

Buddy I got everything tested & nothing will work. I’m stuck here for 4 days.. Can you help? Thanks
 
@themhmd, please update your profile (personal details) with your Motherboard, CPU and iGPU or Graphics Card.
OK I updated my personal settings.
And I managed to install Sierra and my GT 730 is now recognized and working.

BUT the problem is there are weird artifacts and glitches on top left of screen and on system app pages. other apps like chrome and spotify are fine. also it has problem displaying images and desktop background is all black.

Do you think you can help me with that? thanks in advance! <3
