From NvidiaGraphicsFixup FAQ:Do we still need lilu + nvidiagraphicsfixup to fix the black screen issue or should it just work normally now?
- How to properly choose a mac model?
If you have Ivy Bridge or Haswell CPU you should go with iMac13,2 or iMac14,2. Otherwise choose the model you prefer, but keep this in mind:
- If you have Intel GPU, especially if Ivy Bridge or newer, choose the model (by board-id) that has forceOfflineRenderer set to YES (true) in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleGVA.framework/Versions/A/Info.plist.
- Models other than iMac13,2 and iMac14,2 require patches, which are though normally automated in NvidiaGraphicsFixup (see below)
- CPUs newer than Haswell require Shiki patches for hardware video decoding (see below).
