My experience, almost perfect. From 10.11.6 and app store following Tony's advice line by line.....
I'd already upgraded Clover to 3763 before starting.
Update worked perfectly, so well, that during the "sign with Apple ID" part of the Sierra install, the Nvidia Driver Manager was already asking to update itself and the Nvidia drivers.
I ignored it and booted into Sierra.
Here I found myself had a very odd screen resolution 1600 x something instead of my usual crisp 1440p.
SO, I upgraded the GPU drivers using the Nvidia Driver Manager and made the NvidiaWeb .plist changes as advised.
Rebooted.
NO CHANGE.
Checked there was no nvidia injection (I did not believe there was any to begin with and there wasn't)
Rebooted again.
NO CHANGE. Checking in sys info, GPU card wasn't recognised or named and no kext named or loaded. So...
I FIXED IT BY: Downloading again the Nvidia driver using the links Tony provided and reinstalling the video driver straight over the exisiting one. Did not uninstall the existing installed ones, just ran the package. With the config.plist change already in place......
Rebooted...and
That fixed it. Everything (and I mean everything) is working. Toleda script for audio (898) just great as ever. Thanks.
Thanks to all the people here Tony, Stork, Toleda and Rehab and everyone for this ever amazing font of knowledge.
TLDR: If you've made the NvidiaWeb .plist changes and are still having Nvidia Web Driver issues, instead of using the Nvidia Driver Manager to download them and update them, try just downloading them from Tony's links and just running the package and reinstalling them over the top of your existing ones.
That's all guys!
