Hi all,
The past few days I've been searching the internet (including these forums) on how to get the GTX1070 to work. I've got some questions because I can't get it to work like it should.
First of all my hardware:
- Motherboard: MSI Z170-G45 Gaming
- CPU: Intel Core i7 6700K
- Memory: 64GB DDR4
- GPU: Palit GTX1070 GameRock
- SSD: Samsung 850 Pro 1TB --> OSX is installed on a partition on this SSD)
- Secondary SSD: 2xSamsung 950 Pro 512GB (these are not used/recognized in OS X due to my RAID0 setup on my Intel RST controller, but it doesn't matter to me).
- Razer Deathstalker Chroma keyboard
- Logitech G502 Mouse
So I installed 10.12.5 with Unibeast. After installing I installed Multibeast with the following parameters:
- UEFI Boot Mode
- Audio --> Realtek ALC1150
- Disk --> Intel Generic AHCI Sata
- Misc --> FakeSMC v6.25 (as it is mandatory)
- USB --> 3rd Party USB 3.0
- Bootloaders --> Clover v2.4k r4063 UEFI Boot Mode
- Graphics Configuration --> Inject NVIDIA (as I've read here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ivers-on-sierra-10-12-4-with-ga-z170n.219547/)
- System Definitions --> iMac 17,1
Also I've installed a driver for my Killer E2400 network device through KextBeast. This works like a charm.
After doing this I've installed the latest NVIDIA Webdrivers for 10.12.5 (378.05.05.15f01). All went well.
The issue I'm having that when I boot I get a blank screen when choosing the options "verbose" and "Nvidia web driver" in clover during boot. Only when I also select "nv_disable=1" my machine will boot, but the graphics won't be like they should.
The thing that I see is that in the NVIDIA Driver Manager under the tab "ECC" I don't see any devices (again: I booted with nv_disable=1 which might cause this???)
I've read this post: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/solving-nvidia-driver-install-loading-problems.161256/#Problem4
Particularly "Problem 4: Black screen when using iMac15,1 or iMac17,1 or MacPro 6,1 system definition".
I've tried all 4 methods, but none of them works for me.
The thing I noticed is that when I try the Screen Sharing trick (check if my system works and only the GPU doesn't work) I can't connect to screen sharing (while using nv_disable=1 I can). So I've drawn the following conclusions so far:
1. nv_disable=1 works for me. the whole system works except for my GPU.
2. using the web driver and NOT using nv_disable=1 doesn't boot my computer (not only the GPU isn't working but the screen just goes black (no output).
Am I missing something? Help would be very very appreciated!
Kind regards,
DarkMessiah
