Hello I´am about 20 days trying and reading all the forums but ALLWAYS FAILS!

Can´t works Graphic Accelerations with th nvidia Web Drivers!

Mother: Gigabyte z97x Gaming 5 (f7 bios)
Memmory: 16 gb Avexir ddr3 1600
Processor: i7 4790
Video: EVGA Geforce GTX 960 ssc
OSX: Sierra (all versions) Now 10.12.5 (with El Capitan works perfect)
Port Used: DVI and adaptor for VGA monitor.

Just clean install, multibeast, nvidia web drivers, clover efi, clover configurator (all latest versions).
Works just everything BUT GTX 960 not working...

Only can boot with nv_disable=1


Thanks a lot for your time and I hope you can help me.
 
Same situation here. Haven't found anything on these forums I haven't tried. Have both nvda_drv=1 unchecked and NvidiaWeb checked in config.plist.

I can't get my PNY XLR8 GTX960 to boot without using nv_disable=1 when using either HDMI2.0 or DP1.2. I don't have a DVI/VGA capable monitor.

Even when using -v flag I cannot see any specific error as it happens right when the GUI is supposed to kick in, then results immediately in no video signal.

I've opened a thread here since I have slightly different hardware.

Pingram, first off, try using iMac 13,2 as it is more compatible with your cpu.
ne02005, try using iMac15,1 with the AGDPfix.
I also found that setting bios to boot using internal graphics to help.

Bummer, same result, can only boot with nv_disable=1 but also now my mouse also doesn't work. When watching verbose output, monitor loses signal just after: "Sound assertion in AppleHDAEngine at line 9539" when it would normally show the Apple loading bar. The usb keyboard still worked but no usb mouse, tried a few reboots, switching back to 14,2 and mouse is working again.

[edit] Moved mouse to USB 2.0 and it works so must be issues w/ USB3.0 support due to changing hardware platforms. I found on another thread where a user with the same mobo and cpu w/ a GTX950 running OSX 10.11 got his GPU working configured as iMac 13,1 and I now have that setup but still can't boot w/ GPU enabled.

[edit 2] I set my system config back to iMac14,2. Added custom boot flag in clover agdp=Mac-FC02E91DDD3FA6A4 (board-id for 13,1) and I still lose video after clover boot when I should get to the login screen. I can verify I'm at the login screen by toggling CMD+F5 for voice over and can successfully log in and use voice/keyboard commands to navigate, thankfully audio is working. Just can't get GTX960 to come up. Looking at displaypolicyd.log I keep seeing:

ERROR: AGDC suppport not present in system
ERROR: Policy engine instance init failed
