1.) Download and install the
Nvidia 10.13 Web Driver Package. Ignore the error message during installation and proceed with
the Web Driver Installation until you are asked to reboot the system.
Don't reboot the system yet as requested!
2.) Open the config.plist with the Clover Configurator and ensure that "NvidiaWeb" is checked in the "System Parameters"
Section of the Clover Configurator.
3.) Depending on your Nvidia GPU Type, you might need the following error preventions to avoid a black screen on boot with
SMBIOS macPro6,1.
a.) In my case (Gigabyte AORUS GTX 1080 Ti Extreme 11GB), it was sufficient to download, unzip and run the
AGDPfix.app
attached at the bottom of this originating post/guide to avoid the black screen problem on reboot due to SMBIOS macPro6,1. Be patient, it takes some time to apply the fix.
Once the fix has been successfully applied, you will get another notification to reboot your system.
b.) Others might need the following black screen prevention in addition:
NVWebDriverLibValFix.kext in /L/E/. Kext and instructions can be accessed here:
https://github.com/mologie/NVWebDriverLibValFix/releases
In addition, one has to edit the config.plist with the Clover Configurator and use the following KernelToPatch entry in the "Kernel and Kext Patches" of the Clover Configurator

c.) One can also try to just use
lilu.kext and
NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext in the /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.12/-directory of the System
Disk, in case that the AGDPfix does not suffice.
It is very difficult to predict the correct setup for each specific Nvidia Graphics Card. Please search for the optimised settings for your specific Nvidia GPU, if possible before passing to point 4.) below!
In any case, with SMBIOS macPro6,1 and the Gigabyte AORUS GTX 1080 Ti Extreme 11GB, it was completely sufficient just to apply the AGDPfix.app previously to point 4.) below.
4.) Now reboot the system.
I do not know the order of installation.
a) .b) .c) Do you want to proceed in order
Do you want to install it for your graphics card type?
