Black Screen After Updating to 10.12.5

I can't get my Nvidia Drivers to load at all.

My setup
Asus Strix z270i
7700K
980Ti
OS: 10.12.4
SysDef: iMac 17
Tried both f01 and f02 drivers.

I have tried both the old and the new method but nothing, still says "Display 22 MB" in About and everything is going in slowmotion.
In Nvidia GUI its on OSX Default display Driver no matter what.

I did try nvidia Inject using clover config however, then it says 980Ti in about mac but with 0 MB. Clearly its still using the wrong driver though since everything is still going in slowmo.

Any suggestions on forcing driver?
I did try disabling iGPU in bios but there seems to be no such thing, only disable multimonitor...something.

System Info says this about GPU

-Try using iMac 14,2
-Also install emuvariableuefi-64 by running Clover installer again and clicking custom.
-Set nVidia inject to false in config file.
-Add the following into your config file

Code:
    <key>SystemParameters</key>
    <dict>
        <key>InjectKexts</key>
        <string>YES</string>
        <key>InjectSystemID</key>
        <true/>
        <key>NvidiaWeb</key>
        <true/>
    </dict>

-Also Remove Boot/Arguments/nvda_drv=1 if necessary
 
Can anyone help me please.. After installing web driver for my gtx 1060 and following the procedure explained in first post of this thread I am unable to boot into Mac. A screenshot is attached below.

Thanks for the assist.

None of the above works though, some even breaks it, like the emuvariableuefi-64 (halts and shuts down) and I also tried some more sysdefinitons but eventually ended up having to reinstall... again.
I also tried installing Cuda driver, and it says "No gpu detected".

EDIT: WOH! Actually managed to make some progress.
Now Cuda can see the card, and it says this in info.
NVIDIA Chip Model:
Chipset Model: NVIDIA Chip Model
Type: GPU
Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 22 MB
Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x17c8
Revision ID: 0x00a1
ROM Revision: preset 1.0.0
Displays:

Display:
Resolution: 2560 x 1440
Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
Automatically Adjust Brightness: No

BUT, I cannot boot without using bootarg nv_disable=1. So still no go, but one step further.

Any ideas?

do you use hwsensors with gpu plugin ?
 
After I installed the f02 driver, Safari started freaking out. Display glitches and slowing down my system. Had to Force Quit it to stop. I am going to go back to the f01 driver.
So I reinstalled the f02 driver. So far it has not caused another issue with Safari. If anything happens, I'll post it here.

Are you using the latest version of clover? Also, you may want to not worry about Cuda atm, it is not necessary for getting your card working and has no impact on being able to boot with web drivers.
 
anyone know if SLI works fine? thinking about purchasing a second 1080 GTX
