<< Solved >> GTX 1070 and High Sierra won't combine.

[C0gL0rd]

Alright I have spent days looking and reinstalling to no avail.

I have:
Mobo: GB Aorus z370 Ultra Gaming rev 1.0
GPU: EVGA GTX 1070
CPU: i5-8600k
OS: 10.13.6 (17G66)

So I am very fresh to this. Tried using Mojave at first and realized at least as far as I can tell there is no support for GTX cards as of now. So I dropped back and Installed High Sierra. Got it loaded and started trying to install GPU drivers and noticed that I got a version that did not have a web driver specifically listed. I tried using this method and low and behold it worked on reboot flawlessly.

Then when I was trying to get my audio working I corrupted my config.plst file and had to do a fresh install from recovery. Ever since doing that I cannot get the graphics driver to work right again. It installs the same version of the driver and recognizes, but it seems to not fully unlock the card.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. I will attach my config file, and a screenshot of my about. I still have not figured out audio either so anyone with knowledge on that would be great too. I know it uses ALC1220.

Injecting Nvidia graphics is incorrect.

Removed and rebooted no such luck.

This is what its reading now.

Luck plays no part.

If I had to guess with the limited information provided, I would say that it is probably that your motherboard lacks native NVRAM support and that you have failed to emulate it.

Test for NVRAM

Would happily provide more information if needed. Ran that test and it output correctly. Let me know if there is more info I can be providing that would be helpful.

Ignore terminal text above. Misstype

You don't need EmuVariableUefi-64 with AptioMemoryFix-64.
Delete nvram.plist from root of EFI partition.

In Terminal :

sudo nvram -c

Restart
At Clover boot menu press F11.

Did all that and it's unchanged. Would it be better to try to switch to an older explicitly supported version of high Sierra? The reason I didn't in the first place was because I could not seem to find a .app file for the older versions in the App Store. Only the most recent.

Since disabling the Inject function it no longer reads that it has a GTX 1070 and has reset back to "Nvidia chip model 7mb"

That is because the web drivers have not loaded for whatever reason.

Dependencies :
1. Native NVRAM support or an emulation of same.
2. The correct web drivers matched to the OS build number.
3. No use of nv_disable=1. Note that the config.plist that you previously uploaded includes nv_disable=1.
4. NvidiaWeb=true in config.plist.
5. May need SIP fully disabled - CsrActiveConfig=0x67.
6. May need Lilu.kext and WhatEverGreen.kext.

Answer was #3. Thought I had already gone in and disabled that, but must not have saved. Card is recognized and All 3 screens are functioning. Thanks for the help. Now to move on to getting the right sound drivers!

No prospect of the drivers working if you disable them.

Now to move on to getting the right sound drivers!
