I've build a system with Gigabyte H110M-S2H microATX mainboarg and a i3 6100 CPU and 8GB RAM with El Capitain 10.11.3
System runs fine with integrated HD 530 graphics but with artifacts becaus there are no Apple drivers for this. "About this Mac" shows the graphics uses 7MB VRAM.
Because this I bought a MSI nVidia GT 710 graphics card (need not much speed) with Kepler GPU.
First the system crashed during booting (despite BIOS changed to PCIe and integrated grahics was turned off) resulting in boot-crash-loops.
Then I changed Clover Boot -> nv_disable=1 to true. This time booting was possible but still no accelleration. nVidia web drivers are not active after reboot.
"About this Mac" shows "NVIDIA Chip Model 7 MB" => the card is not recognized.
What I tried was: Setiing Clover -> Boot -> nvda_drv= to true and changing Mac type in SMBIOS to iMac 14.1 and 15.1 but nothing helped.
Suppose I have to tell the system what exact type the graphics card is.
But don't know how and if this direction is promising at all...
Did you install the Nvidia web drivers? Without doing that then the boot flag nvda_drv=1 does nothing. You should be fine with iMac14,2 though. iMac15,1 comes with another set of issues. Also make sure that Inject/Nvidia is set to false.
