Hi all,
I just finished installing High Sierra last night on my desktop. I followed the install guide and used a special set of files for my motherboard (ASUS Rampage IV Extreme) so the installation would finally work. I'm trying to get my GTX 960 working with macOS. I followed the guide here and downloaded the newest NVIDIA Web Drivers located here. I've followed the steps in this troubleshooting guide as well, to no avail. Basically, my problem is that macOS keeps reverting back to the OS X Default Graphics Driver after a reboot even though I select NVIDIA Web Driver. According to the troubleshooting guide I linked above, this could potentially be because my board doesn't have native NVRAM support. I installed the latest Clover release and selected the "EmuVariableUefi-64" option but, while that did successfully update the bootloader, it had no effect on the graphics issue. I'm wondering if I downloaded the wrong drivers? Also, after running Multibeast, my computer needs either the bootflag "ncpi=0x2000" or "npci=0x3000" to start, otherwise it just randomly freezes at the beginning of the boot (after about 2 seconds into seeing text using verbose). Using either one of these flags seems to cause some of my USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports to stop working on the motherboard, however. Could either one of these flags be affecting the Web Graphics driver too? I'm not really sure where to go from here and no fixes I've come across on the forum have worked yet. Let me know if screenshots are needed or anything should be clarified. Thanks!
