Need Help Getting My EVGA CTX 970 To Work

[Ralpheal]

Hello, I've been working on my hackintosh for a few months and I've zero luck getting my EVGA CTX 970 to work. Heres what Im working with..

So here my set up:
Mobo: GA-Z170X-GAMING 6
CPU: Intel Core i7 6700k 4.00Ghz Skylake
Graphics: EVGA GTX 970 SSC 4GB
RAM: Ballistix Sport LT 16GBx2
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5-inch SATA III SSD

Power Setting I don't think would cause my issue but if I need to type them up to give a better picture of my setup, I will.

I running the iMac 17,1 definition, macOS 10.12.5, webdriver-378.05.05.15f01, I also ran kextbeast to install lilu and NvidiaGraphicsFixup (because I'm using the iMac 17,1 definition), and I installed AGDPfix.

Right now on under system preferences, then Nvidia Driver Management, the radial button for Nvidia Web Driver is selected. Under the ECC tab there are no devices listed.

I'm not really sure if this has anything to do this my issue but I am using my 65" 4K tv as the monitor, connected via an HDMI cable.

I also tried using iMac 14,2 and could never get the graphics card to fully work. When I was using iMac14,2 I couldn't even get the radial button to stay on Nvidia Web Driver.

I am open to any all suggestions, I've done about 7 fresh installs now so I'm opening to starting over...again lol.

I can provide my config.plist also.

If you use lilu and nvidiafixup then there is no need to use agdpfix.
Kext cache update maybe helps.
Post your config.

What exactly do you mean Kext cache?

try with CsrActiveConfig = 0x67

Right now on under system preferences, then Nvidia Driver Management, the radial button for Nvidia Web Driver is selected. Under the ECC tab there are no devices listed.

Probably because your card does not support ECC - Check the spec.

When I was using iMac14,2 I couldn't even get the radial button to stay on Nvidia Web Driver.

Gigabyte 100 series motherboards do not support native NVRAM so it must be emulated.


Installation procedure :

BIOS - Disable Integrated graphics - Set PEG as Primary
Use a digital connection - DVI or HDMI - VGA is not supported.
Boot with nv_disable=1
May need to update Clover
Install web drivers
Config.plist - Do not inject Intel or Nvidia graphics and no ig-platform-id
Enable SIP fully - CsrActive 0x67
Edit config.plist - NvidiaWeb = true as per Link
May need to emulate NVRAM - Problem 6
Remove nv_disable=1 from config.plist
May need to install Lilu.kext and NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext

Thank you I got it working, not even sure what I did exactly, but when I pulled my unibeast thumb drive out and boot it without it , it was working.

Now...to work on the sound lol
