Hi IAmSpectre, sorry for my belated reply. Hope the below screenshots can still help you. I took these ones from my SwitchResX.

Hey everyone. I have been at this for over a week and I'm really starting to cringe every time I test the custom resolutions cause my TV gets no signal and then it's very hard to recover. I have an x79 board and a gtx 980. My tv is a Sony x850c and has hdmi 2.0 via the "enhanced" mode enabled in the tv's settings. I've run both pixel clock patches with sip disabled. Any time I click on 3840x2160 or the 1080p hidpi (which is ultimately what I'm after) I get a black screen followed by a loss of display signal a few moments after. I should also mention I have a club3d and have tried these methods with and without it. I have a brand new high speed hdmi cable as well. I've been worried that maybe I just don't have the right tv or right video card or whatever, but everything works perfectly in windows, so there's gotta be a way for me to get this working on the hackintosh side of things. I am running sierra 10.12.1. The only other thing I was thinking I might have to try is to setup my smbios as a 5K iMac (either 15,1 or 17,1) because I thought maybe something would be different since those machines are made to drive resolutions that high without any hacking. I don't know. Just a thought. I prefer to use Mac Pro 6,1 since my system is an X79 with an Ivy proc, but I am having the issue where the gtx 980 doesn't output any signal at any resolution when I use Mac Pro 6,1, iMac 15,1 or 17,1. I know there is a lengthy fix for that issue that I tried tonight and didn't have any luck with but I might reinstall sierra for probably the 30th time this week tomorrow and try to follow those instructions and see what happens on one of the 3 smbios I mentioned. If anyone has any other ideas at all, I'd be more than happy to PayPal a donation if I can get this thing working.
Thanks!
