I have to say I am a complete noob so this is more likely a fluke.
I will try to include as many details as possible so the community can replicate.
I suspected this method would work on Mojave as well (not yet tried)
So I was installing mackintosh the first time today, started with High Sierra and the NVIDIA Drivers, huge success.
I wanna get Catalina since the apple apps aren't backward compatible (e.g. notes, reminders), but I read about the lack of Catalina GTX 1080 support and I decided to use the iGPU until the driver comes.
I first edited the .config file, then set the MOBO to IGFX (with multiple monitor support). iGPU worked but there were glitches here and there so I did some finetuning.
Meanwhile I came across this post (problem 5) and changed it to my Mojave build number anyway.
The GTX1080 was still attached to the MOBO and I thought what if I connect one of the monitors to it? (I have two) AND IT WORKED!!!
System Report shows 2 GPU simultaneously (iGPU and dGPU). For some reason using launchpad will log me out, I suspect the cache limi on the iGPU so I plugged both monitors to the GTX1080 and it works perfectly (system preferences shows 3 monitors connected, which was weird)
I rebooted the device (both monitors on GTX) and as expected, it did not work, since MOBO was set to IGFX. Rebooting into BIOS and changing setting solved the problem.
Setup:
6700K

I hope this would guide you guys in getting the 1000 series working! I am not online often but I will try my best to answer your questions!
P.S. I am looking for a Wifi / BT card that supports airdrop / air play / hand off etc. any recommendations?
P.S. For some reason Karabiner Elements did not work when I updated to Mojave from High Sierra, any idea?
