No hardware acceleration 1080Ti - 10.3.6 7G66

[macprodan]

Hi,

Been a long time and originally a 10.4.4 hackintosh OG so go easy.

Recently changed a couple of parts of my system due to failure. I have just completed a fresh install of High Sierra but have no hardware acceleration of my 1080Ti.

I have read quite a few posts on this and there appears to be many views on this but no clear cut answer of what is needed to get a working graphics subsystem so I am a little confused to say the least


To be brief: What files and options are needed for the X99-A to enable the acceleration of the 1080Ti graphics card?

I see multiple posts on AptioMemory and EmuVariableUefi-64.efi do I need both these and what do they do exactly, Are Lilu and whatevergreen needed and lastly should I use nvidiaweb true in my config plist


Any help much appreciated.

System:
Ausu X99-A - 5820k - 1080Ti

nvidia-update - Simple way to install nVidia web drivers

Given the recent issues with official nVidia web driver releases (namely 387.10.10.10.25.156 and 387.10.10.10.25.157), I decided to put together a dead simple one-stop solution for updating to the latest reliable nVidia web drivers. It's called nvidia-update and hopefully makes life easier for...

Thank you, after trial and error I figured out all I needed was to install the nvidia drivers with

bash <(curl -s https://vulgo.github.io/webdriver) 387.10.10.10.40.113

and theninstall whatevergreen and lilu to /kexts/other folder.

Another issues now though. Using migration assistant to move data from an older working install with tons of applications and data caused the system to not boot any longer. I believe this is due to me not unselecting "other files and folders" This option copies files and folder at the root level I believe.
