980 Ti on OS X 10.11.6 - Black screen issue

[Tumbling]

Hi


I hope someone can help a noob having issues getting 980Ti up and running. I searched around but didn't find a solution that worked for me.

I got OS X 10.11.6 installed fine, I ran multibeast and have my audio and LAN working fine. Then I installed WebDriver-346.03.15f01 without restarting. Then I edited info.plist and set my board id as none, and and checked off nvda_drv=1 in clover configurator and restarted. After clover boot menu the screen went black. Then I rebooted and removed nvda_drv=1 from clover to be able to boot back in. I tried installing WebDriver-346.03.15f02 but same result, black screen.

My screen is plugged into HDMI port. I have a triple monitor setup but haven’t started worrying about the other 2 screens yet.

Also when I log into El Capitan I get “scan lines” when logging in but I am guessing this is just due to the missing geforce driver.

My system specs:
i7 6700 K 4.ghz
GIGABYTE GA-Z170X-UD5 TH
850 Evo SSD
950 Evo M.2 (for windows)
EVGA 980 Ti

Ok it seems like its fixed. AGDPfix made it work. It still defaults to OS driver. Working on that now

Hi,

since you posted this today you may could have bad luck only with 346.03.15f02 which broke for me and others after the latest OSX 10.11.6 security update.

Look here: Apple Security Update 2016-001 for 10.11.6 breaks NVIDIA web drivers

This is caused when your board does not have native NVRAM support.
Setup emulated NVRAM to store the nvda_drv=1 boot flag in boot-args.

Check Problem 6 of the Solving NVIDIA Driver Install & Loading Problems topic on how to resolve.
