[Solved] Why OS X Default Graphics overrides NVidia Web drivers?

[DavidxMac]

Hi
I'm having a problem with my graphics drivers: I installed the latest release NVidia Web Drivers for my GTX 1060 6GB, and I activated them, but when I rebooted I saw that macOS Sierra 12.6 is still using OS X Default Graphics. So I tried to resolve using the others guides from people that had the same problem, but it doesn't work for me.

Please guys, can you help me?
Thanks

BIOS - Disable Integrated graphics - Set PEG as Primary
Use a digital connection - DVI or HDMI - VGA is not supported.
Boot with nv_disable=1
May need to update Clover
Install web drivers
Update web drivers to ensure that you have the correct version.
Config.plist - Do not inject Intel or Nvidia graphics and no ig-platform-id
Config.plist - Disable SIP fully - CsrActiveConfig 0x67
Edit config.plist - NvidiaWeb = true as per Link
May need to emulate native NVRAM - Problem 6
Remove nv_disable=1 from config.plist
May need to install Lilu.kext , LiluFriend and NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext

Potential Problems :
HDMI 2.0 is not supported - Use HDMI 1.4 (or lower)
If your graphics card has more than one output of the type that you are using then try another one.
Black Screen with MacPro 6,1 or iMac 15 or iMac 17 System Definition

Hi all!

I'm having an issue getting the Nvidia graphics driver to stay defaulted. Every time I reboot the computer it defaults to the 'OS X Default Graphics Driver'.

On the about this mac, it keeps showing under graphics 'Display 3 MB'

Setup:
Gigabyte Z270X-Ultra Gaming
i7-7700K
EVGA 1070 TI
OS 10.13.1

I've attached my CLOVER folder

If one of you could please take a look and see if my config is off I would really appreciate any help/point in the right direction because as of now I'm lost and can't figure out why this keeps happening.

Thanks!

Best,
-Luke

Then perhaps you should start a thread of your own instead of tagging on to the end of this one that is already marked Solved.
