No GPU acceleration | Nvidia GTX 970

[rf9661]

Hi!

I'm not getting any GPU acceleration from my GTX 970. Both monitors are plugged into the GPU, and the GPU is listed correctly in 'About this Mac' but when playing a game like, Fortnite, the FPS is absolutely terrible. The GPU performs excellently in Windows 10...

I'm running an i7 6700K on an Asus Z170-A.

I fixed it by adding the video card information in Clover

Thanks for the response, would you mind posting a screenshot of where you added it?

So go to Graphics and then there are two sections at the bottom - NVIDIA and ATI. See screenshot 2

To find the IOPCIPrimaryMatch use Clover Configurator, got to Boot.log from the Tools menu on the left, Press Generate Log from the bottom right. Then Search (Command-F) for NVidia until you find something like: (screenshot 1)

0:101 0:000 PCI (00|01:00.00) : 10DE 1381 class=030000
0:101 0:000 - GFX: Model=Gigabyte GeForce GTX 750 family 117 (Nvidia)

The "10DE1381" is your IOPCIPrimaryMatch


Hope that helps.. Ignore my 5 Video Ports, I was tampering with it before I found out that one port was faulty

Normally yes, just make sure that you select the right EFI partition.

I did the recommended and then added it to the config.plist and then restarted my computer. Fortnite FPS is now MUCH higher than was before. Is still a little laggy in a lot of parts...
