[Solved] NVIDIA Driver Won't Load
Issue: New NVIDA card won't reboot the NVIDIA driver when toggling it on in the OS. It only has 1 display and is low res.
Solution: Change system profile from 5,1 to 3,1.
Background: I purchase a GTX 970 to replace my old AMD card so I can support VR. I tried booting with just the card but at the end of the boot it would restart. I put the old card in and installed the appropriate NVIDIA driver (10.11.1). The machine would then boot with the card but it is all low res and only 1 display works. When I try to toggle on the NVIDIA driver in the preference pane it'll reboot and just look the same. If I try enabling nvda_drv=1 the computer reboots like it did before I installed the driver.
Am I missing a step or boot flag?
