New Method for Enabling NVIDIA Web Drivers in Clover

[GoBanana]

May need to emulate native NVRAM - Problem 6 - Install EmuVariableUefi-64 and RC scripts or install AptioMemoryFix or OsxAptioFixv3

I was having the same symptom as the person you were conversing with, after the upgrade to 10.13.6. This note cued me to look at the driver I was using for this. I had OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi installed. That had been auto-removed with the recent Clover update, which I manually restored per @ukulele01's now widespread instructions. However, it wasn't until I read your instruction here that it clicked in my head that it was deleted because it is deprecated - at which point I went back and read the rest of the thread

After installing AptioMemoryFix, I am back in business. So, thanks!

@ci3qt, please update your profile (personal details) with your Motherboard, CPU and iGPU or Graphics Card.
If you have a prebuilt computer enter make and model instead of motherboard.

Profiles are mandatory so that others can assist you.

The screenshot in those instructions shows OsxAptioFix2Drv-64 and OsxAptioFixDrv-64 checked. I am on Clover r4586, which seems to have stopped working well with those extensions; so removed those from my EFI partition (/Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI - well, more specifically I created a folder next door named drivers64UEFI_setaside in case boot failed and I needed to move them back in place), and installed AptioMemoryFix.efi from its github repository, rather than using the Clover installer: On that page, go to Releases, download AptioFix-R21-RELEASE.zip, and from its Drivers folder, copy AptioMemoryFix.efi to /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI .

I don't know of any reason to install it from Githib instead of Clover, but that is what I did.

When editing this with Plist Edit Pro I did not get it to work, when adding the text with ordinary text-editor in OSX it worked right away. Also when selecting the web-driver right in Clover Boot-menu it did work, easiest way would be if Clover just could save settings right in Clover, why bother to edit the file in OSX?

As of macOS Sierra, nvda_drv=1 in config.plist under Boot > Arguments is no longer working to initiate drivers. Clover has been updated with a new System Parameter setting called NvidiaWeb.

There's a new method for enabling the NVIDIA Web Drivers in the latest versions of Clover (r3751+). It can be turned on and off by editing /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/config.plist to add SystemParameters/NvidiaWeb. This parameter takes the place of nvda_drv=1 boot flag, which may not work in macOS Sierra.

1. Mount EFI Partition
2. Open /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/config.plist with text edit, Xcode, or Plist Editor Pro
3. Edit as shown below:

    <key>SystemParameters</key>
    <dict>
        <key>InjectKexts</key>
        <string>YES</string>
        <key>InjectSystemID</key>
        <true/>
        <key>NvidiaWeb</key>
        <true/>
    </dict>

4. Remove Boot/Arguments/nvda_drv=1 if necessary
5. Save and reboot

I am a total noob, so my questions are very basic. (1) How do I know if my Nvidia Web Drivers are working? (2) How do use Xcode to follow the steps you listed?

After updating the Clover, I had to jump through several hoops. I noticed that the OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi was deleted and I managed to get it back in via the shell. However, when I finally boot up, it wouldn't let me switch to Nvidia video card after several reboots. Does this mean I now have to delete the OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi and download AptioMemoryfix.efi? I am no longer able to access EFI on my main hard drive - only on the Recovery Disk. Is that normal after the update? I never experienced that before with previous updates. I am using 10.12. Thanks.

I did a clean install, then followed OP instructions and changed the code text exactly as below:

<key>SystemParameters</key>
<dict>
<key>InjectKexts</key>
<string>YES</string>
<key>InjectSystemID</key>
<true/>
<key>NvidiaWeb</key>
<true/>
</dict>

I'm reformatted my SSD and installed High Sierra from my USB to my SSD as if it was the first time and I'm still suck in infinite reboot, I really don't know were to go from here.
I boot from Verbose and this is what it read, It's clear it's my GPU, however I don't know exactly how to solve this.

I really hope someone could help.

I have a Gigabyte GeForce 1080 DirectX 12 GPU.

I'm about to give up on upgrading to High Sierra - I have done this several times on different days to no avail. I have followed the instructions to the letter. It just stop short of the last few percent of installing it and it hasn't even started rebooting. Any ideas on how I can resolve this or just go ahead and try installing mojave instead? Any advice?

Hello all,
So i put in my config my new aorus GTX 1080 TI 11Go, made all of procedure : update security , update driver to F11, and cuda 410.130, edit config.plist and put NvidiaWeb etc... . And i tested with my main app, and i see it is no faster then my last gtx 970 4Go, i see no changes. how can we be sure that the full accelleration of graphics is operational? when i open config.plist with clover configurator, in boot section i see that nvda_drv=1 is no checked, i have tu checke it even if i modified config.plist with text edit yet? Or it's my application that not take boost of the graphic card?

And in clover configurator, under graphics section there is nothing.

I instaled my built with the guide of KGP based on x99 A II and with sierra that i updated to the latest version, and it work well, but not the graphics i think.

i use clover v 2.4k rev 4289



Anybody can help me?

thanks.
