Here's a "what do you think" question - given that Apple is going to the external GPU option, will that mean that we could have more than one external GPU? Can they be "combined" ala SLI for nVidia? My hack boots into either Win 10 or MacOS - and I have dual 980 TI's in SLI on the windows...
My pleasure. I think you'll find the dragonfly a breeze - I certainly wanted the academic challenge of understanding audio, but from having spoken to at least one consultant, he found audio issues were among the toughest to manage. So - ask yourself - how much is your time worth? If it's gonna...
Actually - some simple advice. Getting audio working, for me anyway, was a huge exercise in frustration. DSDT and all the acronyms did nothing but confuse the heck out of me. Frankly, I still don't understand it, even on a basic level. Spoke to a buddy who is a consultant who could have, with...
With a single GTX 980 Ti, I can boot and install nVidia drivers without a problem. Trouble is, I have a 2nd identical GPU that I have installed now to run in SLI (in Win 10). BUT - Sierra won't boot if the 2nd GPU is powered. If I turn the system off and remove the power to the 2nd GPU, the...
Can you take a look at the last screenshot that I posted? It looks to me that (on the third line of the verbose boot) that the error is in a file called osxaptipfixdrv - NOTE - aptiP, not aptiO (caps added for emphasis). Have no idea where that came from!! Will check when I get home to be sure -...
Only had a few minutes this morning, but here is what I tried. Powered down and then remove power from first GPU. Attach DP cable to second GPU and booted. No signal to monitor - so not sure if I am just going to use the second card if it has to be in the first PCI slot or not - after work, will...
That is a very good idea - easy to try! Will do so and report back. The system boots into Windows 10 with both cards in SLI, but obviously the Mac side is a different beast.
Thanks for the great idea - will let you know!
Removed SLI connector and left both GPU's connected and powered. Booted from USB and got same exact error screen - see below. Seems to indicate that there is a memory allocation issue when 2 GPU's are present - boots fine with just one. Again, I can't be the only person try to have 2 cards, even...
Yes - I removed it from that folder. Video cards are EVGA GTX 980 Ti x 2 - connected with SLI cable. If I unplug the power from the second card, the system boots fine into Sierra. Power to the second card causes the boot failure.
So - more information. Confirmed my suspicion. I unplugged power to my second (identical) GPU and Sierra booted without a hitch. So, there is SOMETHING about having a second GPU that is interfering with the normal boot process. (which is also supported by my last verbose boot screen shot)...
To my untrained eye, seems like the memory in the second GPU is somehow presenting a problem. When I boot into Windows 10, having the second GPU (in SLI) works fine, so I believe the card is fine. Seems that Sierra somehow has an issue allocating or dealing with the second GPU.
There have to be...
