Hi

I have two partitions in my hard disk. one is running el capitan and in another partition I installed Sierra fresh installation. everything is working fine except GTX 960 in Sierra.

I am using clover latest with iMac14,2 smbios. enabled NvidiaWeb true in config.plist. removed nvda_drv=1. I am using the latest nvidia web driver 367.15.10.05f01

If I connect DVI-VGA adapter the system goes in reboot loop and if I use the HDMI cable it gets stuck at a black screen while everything is working fine in ElCapitan with both cables.

spent whole day figuring it out with no luck. any help?

VGA/VGA adaptors are known to cause problems. Use DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort.

As I mentioned if I boot with HDMI cable it shows black screen. I don't have DisplayPort in my monitor.

Boot with nv_disable=1. Attach config.plist.

nv_disable=1 boots the system but without the graphic support. shows graphic card as nvidia chip model with 5 MB ram. the mobo graphic is showing as Intel HD4600 though. I have also tried disabling the integrated graphics as well from bios with no luck.

No config can't say much without it. Better to disable onboard iGPU when having dedicated Graphics.
