GTX 660 glitch issue with MacOS High Sierra 10.13

[RealZac]

Hi friends,

did anyone try the GTX 760? Somewhere I read, that the GK104 GPU works without problems and glitches. But I am not sure.

Finally solved for me by installing Clover UEFI Boot Mode + Emulated NVRAM in Multibeast and checking Store nvram.plist on system partition in NVRAM < Clover.

UPD: and here it goes again...

Edith: oops ,,sometime i have again the problem,,so only 15% of time, and 65% before the update

Today I tried something new. Changed my graphic card from Nvidia GTX 660Ti 2GB to a GTX 1060 6GB. Also read that there are glitches too with GTX 1060 but so far... I have no more Glitches!

My System is still macOS High Sierra 10.3.2, 2 Monitors, one via DVI the other via HDMI.

Software you need:

• Lilu.kext

Download Now 44.9 KB .zip

• NvidiaGraphicsFixup_1.2.2.kext

Download Now 15.4 KB .zip

• Nvidia WebDriver-378.10.10.10.25.104 (this was the Web driver I needed for mac OS Version)

WebDriver-378.10.10.10.25.104.pkg


What I've done is:

- First uninstalled Nvidia web drivers via System Control Panel>Nvidia Driver Manager
- Then shut down my Hackintosh
- Uninstalled the old Nvidia GTX 660Ti and replaced it with the new Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB
- Started the Hackintosh, everything went booting but only one Display was running.

- Install the downloaded Nvidia Web Driver (at mine it was 378.10.10.10.25.104) if this Web Driver won't fit your version of High Sierra, you can download other versions from here

- Opened Clover Configurator, mounted my EFI.
- Go to EFI/EFI/CLOVER, duplicated "config.plist" and renamed it to "config-backup-2.plist" (for backup of old system definitions, I would recommend this step if you have boot issues after change your SMBIOS)
- Go to EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other and put in there the downloaded "Lilu.kext" and "NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext"

- After backed up config.plist and copied the Lilu.kext and NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext, switched back to Clover Configurator, there opened my "config.plist".

- Go to "Graphics" deselected all "Injects" (at mine it was "inject Nvidia" selected)
- Go to "SMBIOS" and changed with the little button on right side from "iMac13.1" to "MacPro6.1"
- Save changes in config.plist with "CMD+S" then exit Clover Configurator and press "OK"

Thats all. Restart your system. Could be that loading screen first time will take a little longer at boot up but no worries.

Hey, still no problems with your system along time? Have same card, but sitting on Sierra, in hope of further updates with solved problem.

Is the SMBIOS switch mandatory? I am using iMac14.2 and planning to swap my GTG660TI with GTX950 that I have laying around.

Thank you for reporting this, I almost pressed the button last night. Very glad that I have not done something wrong before seeing this.

Unfortunately I don't know if it's really mandatory... but for me it worked.

It didn't help. Still graphical glitches on GTX1060

@Edit
I noticed, that glitches are more significant after waking up computer from sleep. After disabling this option, my hackintosh is working decently (but still no gaming).
