Redownload the drivers.

Did you get anywhere with this? I've been having a really great challenge getting the hackintosh to correctly use the GTX 950 2GB as well.
I'm using Sierra with a ga-z170mx gaming 5, but I've run into the same funky behavior.

When I boot from the Unibeast prepared install USB drive, the system information recognize the Nvidia GTX 950, though thinks that it's 0MB. After using multibeast to make my internal drive bootable, the system information says that it's just a 7mb display.

I was able to download the webdrivers, as I'm sure you were too, but unable to get the system to use them (always reverts back to apple)

When I manage to get anywhere, I'll reach out to you again.

0MB means that you have Inject/NVidia/true when it should be false. If you have done the proper method of enabling the driver in your config then it shouldn't matter what the driver manager says.

Ah! Thank you! That's very interesting! So in my case the Display 7mb is perhaps a step in a better direction as it means that, at least, it's no longer injecting.
I appreciate your insight and I hope to contribute something useful once I figure out that the deal is.
Would you suggest installing an alternate OS such as windows to test and see if the card is actually functionally perfect?

Also of note, I've gone through the new method of enabling web drivers and the control panel always reverts back to OSX driver (confirmed using kextinfo)
