i have a clean install of el capitan running good,the only thing i need is nvda_drv=1. i already install latest nvidia graphics but i still need nvda_drv=1 at boot. is there any way it can be added and not have to type it every time?. I'm using clover boot loader

That is stored in the Clover config.plist on your EFI partition at EFI/CLOVER/config.plist.

Here's the documentation for this file:

http://clover-wiki.zetam.org/configuration
http://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration/Boot#Arguments

2 ways to edit this file:

Mount your EFI partition: http://www.tonymacx86.com/basics/174321-how-mount-efi-partition.html
Use a plist editor (or a text editor, if you know how to do the formatting) to edit config.plist

or

Use Clover Configurator: http://www.tonymacx86.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=276

ok, i open clover configurator and go to graphics and select nvda_drv=1 save, and reboot with no success display at 7 MB, then i reboot and at clover options at boot i go to args and added there and graphics boots fine

You need to make sure that when you open clover configurator, you load your actual clover config file located in your EFI partition.

Then you should enable nvda_drv=1 and manually save your changes in clover configurator and you should be ready to go.

To be even more specific, you want EFI/CLOVER/config.plist on your EFI partition of the drive in question.

thank you all for you help i figure it out, i had to run nvidia drivers and not reboot, run clover configurator uncheck nv_disable=1 and check nvda_drv=1 then reboot and solve video issues
 
Setting nvda_drv=1 got my EVGA 980 GTX working. Thx!

Although, the Nvidia System Preferences pane still says that my computer is using the "OS X Default Graphics Drivers". Do you know if that's a problem? Or is it just cosmetic?
