Hello family,
I am currently running into issues with my GPU (EVGA Geforce GTX 970). I am currently running OS Mac Sierra 10.12.6. My computer will boot fine without the driver, but as soon as I install the NVIDIA WEB DRIVER, my computer won't boot. I then have to use my UniBeast flash drive as exampled in (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ported-intel-based-pc.200564/#create_unibeast) and boot the computer from there. The graphics don't stick at that point (when I boot from the flash drive). I can't tell if they stick without the flash drive because my computer won't boot without it.
When I uninstall the NVIDIA WEB Driver, my computer boots fine.

Methods I have tried:
1. Reinstalling MultiBeast after I plug the UniBeast bootable flash drive in, removing the flash drive and rebooting the computer.
(Computer won't boot)

2. (With Bootable Drive inserted again) Installing the Clover v2 package as exampled in Problem #6 https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/solving-nvidia-driver-install-loading-problems.161256/#Problem6 removing the flashdrive and rebooting the computer.
(Computer won't boot)

3. Injecting Lily.kext and NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext

4. Mounting my EFI Partition and editing the config.plist to
Code (Text):
<key>SystemParameters</key>
<dict>
<key>InjectKexts</key>
<string>YES</string>
<key>InjectSystemID</key>
<true/>
<key>NvidiaWeb</key>
<true/>
</dict>
as exampled in https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/black-screen-after-updating-to-10-12-5.218005/

Running the AGDPfix.app

None of these methods have helped. I would appreciate it if someone with a better understanding could help me and potentially someone else who might be having the same issues with their build.

Please and Thank you.
 
Yes, but you'll need to install the Nvidia drivers as Apple does not support recent Nvidia graphics cards natively.

We have the latest drivers available in the drop down Downloads menu at the top of this page.

After you install Sierra 10.12.6, install the drivers after you run MultiBeast before rebooting (after the MultiBeast build installation).

Hello Stork, first I'd like to thank you for the thousands of people you've helped. Also I was wondering if you could help me with my graphics situation as well. Well I install the NVIDIA Driver to get my NVGA GTX970 to work, my computer won't boot. As soon as I uninstall, my computer boots fine.
