to disable nvidia then you need to boot with nv_disable=1 flag

you may want to check out https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/ as there is some valuable information and also a hd530 config plist you can use

Thank you for Answer,
i used my clover with boot options:

"nv_disable=1" and with "nv_disable=1 nvda_drv=1" but the same Error. Then i am trying with "-x" its reboot every time.

I have already used with this guide https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/ with FakeSMS, VoodooPS2Controller and GenericUSBXHCI in Other directory. I have change config.plist --and used config_HD520_530_540.plist from https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config
I can post here my DSDT too. Can anybody turn Nvidia off in DSDT and make some change?

Thanks

drivers64UEFI is not per guide.
GenericUSBXHCI.kext does not apply to your hardware. Remove.
You probably failed to set DVMT-prealloc as mentioned in the FAQ.

Thanks for Attention,
I wont set DVMT-prealloc from 128Mb to 96Mb (under Windows it says 128Mb) with UEFI Schell and its says:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
grub> setup_var 0x494 0x3
Looking for Setup variable...
var name: .....

--> GUID does not match expected GUID, taking it nevertheless...
expected a different size of the Setup variable .....
Continue with care...
successfully obtained "Setup" variable from VSS....
offset 0x494 is: 0x03
setting offset 0x494 to 0x03
var name: Setup, var size: ...

--> GUID does not match expected GUID, taking it nevertheless...
successfully obtained "Setup" variable from VSS ...
error: offset is out of range..

Clearly did not read the FAQ.

IMPORTANT!: Contrary to many of the guides you will read, Windows is NOT a valid way to determine what DVMT-prealloc is set to. There is no correlation, especially with Windows 10.

Check your IFR extract to be certain you're using the correct offset.

Yes, i am understanding, that Windows is not a valid way to determine this. In IFR Extract i have this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0x284C1 Setting: DVMT Pre-Allocated, Variable: 0x494 {05 91 A1 07 C4 07 7B 27 01 00 94 04 14 10 01 FE 00}
0x284D2 Option: 32M, Value: 0x1 {09 07 A2 07 00 00 01}
0x284D9 Option: 64M, Value: 0x2 {09 07 A3 07 30 00 02}
0x284E0 Option: 96M, Value: 0x3 {09 07 A4 07 00 00 03}
0x284E7 Option: 128M, Value: 0x4 {09 07 A5 07 00 00 04}
0x284EE Option: 160M, Value: 0x5 {09 07 A6 07 00 00 05}
..............................................
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And i have used:

setup_var 0x494 0x1
setup_var 0x494 0x2
setup_var 0x494 0x3
setup_var 0x494 0x4

but same error:
error: offset is out of range..

similar like you, any ideas?

i followed all the instructions all day, used unibeast to install sierra on my laptop, it can start up but no graphic accelerate, so i set intelgfx 0x19168086, and use kextbeast to install fakepciid.kext fakepciid_intel_hd_graphics.kext, reboot and screen turn black at three_quater in the boot progress.

then i recognize the dvmt stuff, same situation like you, dos report offset is out of range
