Compatibility

[djstevehavoc]

Hi all,

I have a ASRock Fatality board with a NVIDIA GeForce 760 graphics card. In the system report, it only shows a 7MB video memory. My card has 2GB. I also cannot get my mackintosh to use my second monitor as well. I also installed Multibeast, and I cannot get it to boot off my Mac drive without the usb stick. I have OS X Sierra installed.
Specs:

1TB SATA hdd
3.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Nvidia GeForce 760
ASRock Fatality

If there is any other information that I can post to help anyone answer this, please let me know

Please post your full system details, including your actual processor model number and your motherboard model ("ASRock Fatality" is a series of motherboards that includes several models). Also please take us through how you installed macOS (i.e. did you follow the steps in the Installation Guide, did you skip any steps, what options did you choose when you installed Multibeast, etc.) Otherwise all anyone can do is guess in the dark about what's going on with your installation.

As an aside, the system you have in your profile (with the Celeron E1000 processor) isn't capable of running macOS - please replace that information with the system you're asking for help with.

In Clover Configurator, Graphics section, make sure there is no check on "Inject Nvidia".

 

[djstevehavoc]

It is not.

I just updated my bios firmware. Did not seem to do anything to help. I really don't mind booting from the USB stick, what I'd really like to be able to do is get the full functionality of my graphics card so I can use my other display, and not watch the screen refresh

Make sure you have Clover installed on your boot drive and set that drive to be first in the boot order in BIOS.

You can check to see if Clover is installed on your boot drive by mounting the EFI partition and seeing if the EFI folder is in there. When editing your config.plist, make sure it's saving to the right place.

How does one mount their EFI partition?

After setting the MacOS drive as the first boot drive, mounting the EFI partition, and re-installing Multibeast, here is the clover install log
