Hi

I have been desperately trying to get my Nvidia Inno3D GTX 1080 graphics card working with High Sierra but I keep running into load of problems.

I have installed the very latest WebDrivers from Nvidia - WebDriver -387.10.10.10.40.133 after performing the latest High Sierra security update from apple.
I have moved the Lilu.kext and WhateverGreen.kext into my EFI partition under EF/Clover/kexts/Other

I downloaded the latest Clover Configurator 5.7.0
I opened up config.plist with Clover Configurator and under System Parameters I set InjectKexts to Yes and ticked NvidiaWeb.

In fact I uploaded my config.plist file so that others could have a look and see where I went wrong?

I have been racking my brains over trying to get this to work.

I can't boot from the Clover UEFI, if I try boot from the Clover UEFI menu, the apple logo appears and then the computer restarts and it just goes in a continues loop. I have to boot up from the USB disk that I have High Sierra installed, I can get into High Sierra and it recognises my Graphics card but under Nvidia Driver Manager it is set to Default.

Can someone please help me to be able to boot from Clover into High Sierra. I know it has something to do with kexts and my config file?

It would be much appreciated if people offered some advice because this has been extremely difficult getting this to work.

Thanks

I can't boot from the Clover UEFI

Replace the /EFI folder on the EFI partition of the hard drive/SSD with the /EFI folder from the EFI partition of the USB.

Injecting Nvidia graphics in config.plist is incorrect.
You should not need to boot with -disablegfxfirmware.
Remove the FakeID (0x59128086) for IntelGFX.
Remove the ig-platform-id 0x59120000.

thanks I have removed those from the config but I am not sure about the Injecting Nvidia graphics?

Are you referring to this? Do I remove it or change it?
