Moved to Graphics section. i think this sounds like an NVRAM issue with the 100 series bard. See section 6

Problem 6: You select Nvidia Web Drivers in the menu bar or the Nvidia Driver Manager preference pane but when you restart OS X Default Graphics Driver is checked.
This is caused when your board does not have native NVRAM support such as Gigabyte 100 series boards.

I also recommend using iMac 14,2 with your hardware - 17,1 expects AMD graphics, this can be hacked with additional work - or you could just run 14,2 and save some work.

I did a reinstall and tried setting up 14,2 I did get accelleration but shows OS X driver still? even reverted back to an old Titan card from my 980ti, no change ?
I just ordered a new Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD3 Ultra I gambled with the gaming 7 because I like the design and colors but proving to be more than I can swallow
