hm. still stuck at full. i can try verbose mode again, but currently, since your EFI is headless, i have my 1050ti plugged in, just to boot in, so would that affect anything? maybe change the slot my GPU is in? it’s accurately being read in my bios and clover

Which version of macOS are you installing? High Sierra? Mojave?

Please post your EFI folder as you have it now.

EFI unified 4.5.1. installing mojave. as i read, you can run mojave with Nvidia graphics cards, there’s just no mac drivers available to download in order to support it, so the quality is bad (also don’t know what you’re looking for picture wise...)

Please use EFI Unified r5.1.1 from my Z370 thread. Set system definition to iMac18,1.

Don't bother trying to run your Nvidia card with no drivers. The experience will suck.

If you have a discrete video card installed, you must connect the monitor to the video card.

If you do not have a discrete video card installed, you can only connect the monitor to the motherboard.

also realizing that this whole 6 page thread could've been avoided if i actually had the right efi, literally like you said in your second response, but im a little slow sometimes and just need to actually learn what im doing so thanks for the consistent help!
