Hi everyone, I am a long time lurker of these forums but this is my first post. I have been successfully running a hackintosh since 10.9 back in 2013 with the help of these forums. I had upgraded it as far as el capitan but then never bothered to go up to sierra. I wanted to use a 4k display with my hackintosh recently, but learned that I would need a newer card that supports hdmi 2.0 for a full 4k@60hz. As such, I decided it was time to upgrade my video card so I went and bought a GTX 1060 6gb but then learned I would need sierra or later to get full support using the web drivers. Given that high sierra has released now, I was unable to try and get this working for sierra, so I went straight to High Sierra 10.3 as a fresh install on a new SSD.
After many many hours, I finally got my setup all working completely on 10.3 (using the hardware from my profile). The only problem left is that I still cant get a full 60hz on the 4k display, it is only running at 30hz. I am using the latest version of clover to boot. I run a multi monitor setup that has 4 displays. Only one display is 4k, the other 3 displays are all working fine at full 60hz.
I have been trying many different things, such as messing around with CoreDisplay patcher, CoreDisplayFixup kext, using Lilu, NVidiaGraphicsFixup...It is possible I am not using these correctly as I am not too familiar with them. It also does not help that because 10.3 is new, there is not a lot of information out there for this version. I have even tried to download and use switchresX (which I would prefer to avoid altogether) but even that doesn't help. I was able to get the resolution choice to show up in switchresX (was not showing originally) but when i set to 60hz, the 4k screen just turns off and my 3 other screens go in and out as though they are detecting the display over and over, but never successfully do, so I have to go back to 30hz.
Is there anyone who might be able to help me? GTX 1060 6GB using nvidia web drivers trying to get 4k@60hz output on 10.3 high sierra. I have been messing with this for days and would really appreciate any help.
