GTX 590 - Need help with getting OSX to recognize second GPU.

[BadKarma]

Hoping for some assistance in getting OSX 10.11.1 to recognize the second GPU on EVGA GTX 590.

Currently using only Inject-Nvidia via Clover with smbios - iMac12.2

Please advise if there's anything else I can include to assist in solution.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried using the Nvidia Web Drivers?

No, simply because I must have misunderstood that it only applies to newer Nvidia cards. I will give that a try. I've been going over your thread below.

Great job explaining and thanks for the suggestion.

Will post back with result.

Successfully installed Nvidia Web Driver 364.03.03f02 and added nvda_drv=1 to config.plist, but still stuck with 1 GPU.

Please advise.

You have Inject/Nvidia/True?

You have Inject/Nvidia/True?

Yes, I have Inject/Nvidia/True

Yes, I have Inject/Nvidia/Yes

The only other thing I can say is to try a different smbios, Mac Pro 3,1 maybe.

What happens when you try to boot with two? Can you get in? Or do you get stuck at PCI configuration begin?

Something that you may want to look into is doing a DSDT inject. There's a great website out there for just that. Msg me or Google nvidia dsdt inject. Rules won't let me post this website.
