I have resolved the issue! I found that the hard drive I was using had 2 partitions withMacOS on it. One was from months ago when I was experimenting and that partition was where the config.plist was residing. I have no idea why that didn't show up on Clover, but after I saw that, I erased that...

For some reason, no matter what I set the mac type to, Sysetm Report shows it at 17,1

Ok, because I'm still having to use the nv_disable-1 arg to boot, basically, nothing sees the vram. dcpi says displays the exact vid card name, but shows ".display_boot" for the frame buffer and Ports=2. Looking through the tabs of dcpi, I see nothing reporting ram. System Info shows the card...

I am running it as 14,2 :) However, I'm currently not attempting Sierra, but using El Capitan. Since I've had great success with getting everything working (except the vid card (again, worked properly with Intel 530), I figured why change. Also, I started building this right before Sierra...

Hi, thanks. I can try MacPro5,1 and see what happens.

Yes. It's new and it says it on the box. This is the direct link (from the Buyer's Guide) I used to purchase: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KJGYOBQ/?tag=tonymacx86com-20 I will run the DCPI and verify how it's seeing it shortly. Thanks

Yes. I started by prepping the USB stick with UniBeast. I then used MultiBeast to get other things running afterwards and so far I've got everything working, except the video card. As I look over the posts from Graphics Setup & Troubleshooting guide, a few have mentioned what appears to be the...

Hi. Did you ever resolve this? Right now I have what appears to be the same issue, only I'm using a GT 740 SC. I can never boot without the nv_disable=1 and obviously if I have to use that arg, it's not going to see the card when I boot and that's evident in the nvidia web driver as it shows no...

I had the exact problem you're describing. In order to even be able to get to the point where you can install the web drivers, you need to first get past this lower level issue. To do that, trust me, you simply need to add, "nv_disable=1" to your Clover boot args. Then you WILL get past this and...

Turns out, I chose the correct version of the nvidia web driver. Now I'm not sure what next. Maybe get the configurator and try to set those other flags

Thanks for the app name! I found it now. Yeah, as I mentioned, I did install the Nvidia web drivers after I got booted on the 740. :) So I did the same thing you mentioned. In fact after installing the web driver, the nvda_drv=1 was in the boot args (I hadn't added it). So I thought, great! I...

What app is that? I looked carefully at the pic and the program name is white'd out in the title bar. Also, the link to the drivers page explains that Keplar cards (720 sc like I have), you use the nv_disable=1 only to get into the OS so you can install the web drivers and after that you...

I read through that guide, but as soon as I don't add the nv_disable=1 to the boot args, I go back to the old problem. I did install the web drivers, where the version matches my OS ver of El Capitan and I see it loading in the menu bar. I went back and Clover now has the boot args "nvda_drv=1"...

Ok, I have it working!!! I tried a DVI monitor and it did the same thing. It was what Kazbah suggested. nv_disable=1 Although I tried that in the past, but I now know I had a syntax error because one of the keys on my keyboard was not mapping correctly and I plugged in my Mac keyboard a few days...

Yes, just like me when I started computers and programming in the 80's! lol Unfortunately, they keep selling brand new monitors that are VGA only if you don't want to pay a lot. And with kids, you don't want to. Plus, they work on everything, but we may have hit the exception. Even worked on...
