Sierra is not detecting GPU (GTX650)

[jorgedx21]

Hi everyone,

I come from this thread. Why? I had to install Sierra instead of High Sierra because High Sierra didn't let me install the OS in my full SSD (I don't know why). I had to create two partitions on the SSD and install macOS in one of them: one had the OS and the other was empty. The problem was that Clover always installed the EFI Volume in the empty partition instead of High Sierra partition, and that's a problem. Besides, it wasn't detecting my WiFi adapter and I was having problems with sound.

Sierra did the job, it let me install the OS on the full SSD and now I have the EFI volume on the system disk. So... What's the problem? Almost everything is perfect, but Sierra isn't detecting my GPU (Gigabyte GeForce GTX650 OC 4GB). I post two screenshots:





I've read a lot of forums and I've tried to modify config.plist with Clover Configuration in EFI Volume, but I failed. I've spent two days with this and now I'm desperate. I was close once, because I installed Nvidia Web Drivers and, when I restarted to complete the installation, everything was fine (graphics were great and the OS was detecting my GPU). I wanted to be assure, so I didn't touch anything and restarted again. After the restart, the problems came back, like if I hadn't done do anything.

I attach a .zip with the CLOVER folder of my EFI Volume. I wish anyone could help me.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for this, but I'm sorry to tell you that it's not working

The system doesn't recognize my GPU. Right now I have the CLOVER folder that I attach on this post:

 

[Gigamaxx]

CLOVER.zip

I changed system def to 15.1
Use cursor arrows and go to clover/options/graphics see what the card is listed as. Test with no settings then try with inject Nvidia, and Nvidia single, no EFI etc. Test various settings using options menu.

Gigamaxx,

Since Nvidia GTX 650 should work without Nvidia Web drivers in macOS Sierra (not in macOS High Sierra) with nvda_drv=1 in Boot or [√] Inject Nvidia in Graphic shouldn't your originally uploaded CLOVER work OK, if jorgedx21 edits his config.plist >Rt Variables >CsrActiveConfig from default value of 0x3 to 0x67 ( SIP Disabled)?

Yes, for Sierra 0x67 should work. I forgot they switched or opened this thread after attempting High Sierra.
Let’s hope that works.

Hi guys,

I will try it this afternoon. I can't say how much I appreciate your help.

I'll keep you updated!

I'm sorry, guys... It isn't working.

I've tried with the original Gigamaxx CLOVER changing 0x03 by 0x67, but it's not working.

I've also tried with the other options you told: nvda_dvr=1 checked, Inject Nvidia checked, Inject Nvidia, Nvidia Single, NoEFi, etc. I tried them together and separate, but nothing changes.

I upload my actual CLOVER folder. Thanks again.

macOS support Nvidia Kepler natively, you don't need to Inject Nvidia , Nvidia Single, NoEFi, no WebDriver ...
