UPDATE (SOLUTION): Was only black screening on two of the three HDMI ports from my graphics card (Gigabyte 1050 Ti G1 Gaming). The one that works 100% of the time is the one farthest from the DP (or closest to the bottom?). Other than that port, all other HDMI ports don't work. The DVI port also works. The HDMI/DVI ports that work can function as either the main thing or secondary screen. The DP probably works too, but I don't have the connector to check.
UPDATE 05/15/17: I purchased a DP > HDMI adapter mainly to see if I could get HDMI audio to work since I heard that DP audio works in Pascal (it did, but that's unrelated to this forum), but for those wondering about the DP, I am confirming that it works as well. So to summarize for my GPU as of this date and with Sierra 10.12.4 installed: HDMI port farthest from the DP, the DVI port, and the DP all pass the black screen, but the other two HDMI's do not.
Hello,
This is the last thing I can't seem to get working on my new build (other than audio, but I have a USB Dac to get me by). It is a dual-boot build with Windows 10 (just in case that matters to my problem), and the card runs fine on the Windows side. My problem is that halfway into the boot at the Apple loading screen, I get a black screen as if my display goes to sleep. However, I can still here my computer running and no clicking/using of the keyboard brings the display back. Attached is my plist and ioreg, but here are some additional notes:
+ Connected via HDMI Although I did get discouraged for a moment because the screen went black, then came back on after a couple seconds.
+ Most recent Pascal driver installed (378.05 I believe)
+ Installed Lilu.kext and NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext into System/Library (A few threads mentioned to put these into the Clover/kexts/Other)
+ I have tried Internal Graphics Auto AND Disabled in BIOS
+ Changed SMBIOS to almost everything under the sun (5,1/ 6,1/ 14,2/ 17,1/ 16,2/ 13,2). I currently have 17,1 with a 14,2 board-ID because of another thread on this forum. I believe this should be visible in the plist
+ I have the EmuVariable driver for my nvram since my board doesn't natively support NVRAM (I'm assuming since the 100 series Gigabyte boards didn't, and I have a 200 series). Also, I tested to make sure it works by testing the TestVar=Helloworld commands in Terminal
+ I looked that the [READ THIS FIRST] thread before posting as well (I think everything listed above should reflect that)
+ I tried a clean install, but it didn't work. So I took a serious shot-in-the-dark and tried using someone else's plist (which is what I currently have)
I think that is everything. If I recall anything else, I will be sure to edit this post.
