I decided I wasn't doing enough 3D graphics to justify the electricity burned by my big Nvidia card (a lowly 680) and popped in an Nvidia NVS 510, a card that has 4 DP outs and is used a lot by traders who need 4 screens of non-3D stuff. After that switch, every time I reboot my hackintosh, Clover does not remember to boot the Mac OS image, out of the several choices. PITA.

I recall something about Clover using some sort of static RAM on video cards for such things, and that older cards don't have that and need to enable emulation of it, but I can't seem to find that info now, when I need it.

Can someone please point me to that - or some other thing to try?

thanks in advance,
