El Capitan GA-Z97X-UD3H + i7-4790k + GeForce GT 740

[ammulder]

OK, to be clear, here is what worked for me with a GT 740 and GA-H87N-WIFI:

• No Nvidia Web drivers
• Integrated graphics enabled in BIOS, BIOS set to boot graphics PCIe slot 1, IGP minimum/aperture sizes set to 64MB/128MB
• config.plist set to inject nvidia = false, inject intel = true
• Monitor connected to GT 740 HDMI port

So based on that, I'd leave your integrated graphics enabled and change config.plist inject intel from <false /> to <true />

If that alone doesn't work... It sounded like you have already installed the Web drivers, and if so, I'm not sure how to disable them... perhaps boot with nvda_drv=0 and see how it goes.

Never thought of the combination of onboard gfx enabled and inject intel, but display goes to sleep again about half way through the progress bar

I wasn't sure what to do about the unnecessary nvidia drivers experiment so I did a fresh install to be sure they were no longer part of the system

I'm using DVI though, my 740SC has 2 DVI / 1 mini HDMI, i'll get a mini HDMI adaptor and give it a try
Meanwhile thanks for the tips, i know it will work somehow

Also try after it goes to sleep, unplug the monitor from the video card and plug it back in again.

Somehow reinstalling OSX while using the HDMI cable on my 740SC resulted in a working system, woo hoo!
Probably not gonna try the update today, ha ha

Thanks again

Hello,

I am hoping that this thread is still alive. I had a successful install yesterday following your instructions. I decided to go out today and get the same graphics card that you have. I already have the same Mobo and Processor as you. However, I can not get the graphics card installed. It won't even get past the load bar screen unless I have Inject Intel = False. I installed the latest WebDriver and it still does not recognize the GPU. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Try the boot argument nvda_drv=1 if you have installed the Nvidia Web drivers (and make sure you don't have nv_disable=1).

If you get a progress bar and the Apple logo, and then midway through the monitor shuts off, you probably need Fix #4 from http://www.tonymacx86.com/graphics/161256-solving-nvidia-driver-install-loading-problems.html

I have the arguments dart=0 and nvda_drv=1 and it still would not recognize my GT 740. My screen would no shut off, and the progress bar loads fine, so I don't think I have 'Problem 4' It's just that it seems like my graphics card does not even exist to to my mobo.

I have it plugged into the slot that's labeled PCIEX16, and in my BIOS, I have Initial Display Output set as PCIe 1 Slot, with Intel Processor Graphics Enabled, and XHCI Mode as 'Smart Auto'

I am suuch a Noob! I just realized that my graphics card was not plugged in correctly. I had only put it into the PCIe slot without the power. I thought it did not need the power supply since the fans were spinning already. Now I can get the Graphics card to work!!!

The only issue now is, I have to go into Clover Options at the beginning of Each Boot, to turn off Inject Nvidia. I have already went into MultiBeast and Installed the configuration, without having any Inject Graphics selected. Is there a reason why Inject Nvidia is always selected by default?

It must be set in the config.plist you're using to boot. If you're booting from a USB drive it would be on there, and if you're booting from an internal drive it would be on there. You can use your BIOS hotkey to select a boot device to be sure.

Assuming you did a UEFI install, it should be on the EFI partition of the drive determined above, at EFI/CLOVER/config.plist. You can edit it with Clover Configurator or a text editor, and look for the injection settings in the Graphics section.

I am booting from an internal drive. I have already finished the installation and the MultiBeast from the USB, and no longer need to boot from the USB. Where do I find the EFI/CLOVER folder? On my internal hard drive, there is an EFI-BACKUPS folder and within it, there is a r3320 folder, and within that, there are a ton of different folder with different dates. (2015-12-19-10h44). Am I looking in the right place?
