Hey All,
I've read the "Common Troubleshooting" thread but none of the suggestions helped, unfortunately :(
I've also googled a bunch of various terms and all of them lead to needing to set Nvidia Inject to false.

My current problems are
1. With Inject NVidia on - I get the correct card (Geforce 640) with 0mb vram
2. Without Inject NVidia off - It shows "NVIDIA Chip Model 3 MB"
3. In either case I only get maximum 1024x768 resolution.
4. When OS X starts it "flashes" the screen with some sort of "blinds" (i guess due to no hardware acceleration).
5. When I set the Nvidia inject flag, it always resets to true after a reboot for some reason (even though disabling it doesn't seem to help).

Would appreciate your help while I keep trying to mess with it.

This is on Sierra, by the way.

Many thanks :)
Shai.
 
Install the Nvidia Web Drivers and set Inject/Nvidia to false.
 
Thanks for your help!
It actually doesn't seem to help :(

I Installed the web drivers from this thread : https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...for-macos-sierra-10-12-2-367-15-10-25.209714/

I see the icon on top. I booted clover with Inject off and Web Drivers on.
It still shows "NVIDIA Chip Model 3MB" and it seems to flash harder than before.

Any other thoughts?
Thanks :)

I've also tried editing Clover's config.plist as suggested.

e.g.

Code:
        <key>SystemParameters</key>
        <dict>
                <key>InjectKexts</key>
                <string>YES</string>
                <key>InjectSystemID</key>
                <true/>
                <key>NvidiaWeb</key>
                <true/>
        </dict>

and also

Code:
        <key>Graphics</key>
        <dict>
                <key>Inject</key>
                <dict>
                        <key>ATI</key>
                        <false/>
                        <key>Intel</key>
                        <false/>
                        <key>NVidia</key>
                        <false/>
                </dict>
        </dict>

But still same issue remains
