Solving NVIDIA Driver Install & Loading Problems

Hello all !

I'm bit lost with my fresh sierra install.
It's the first time I try to intall macos with my specs.
All seems good, with unibeast, network and audio works perfectly, but I've a big problem with my nVidia 1070.
Out of the box, the card is working but system informations show me 5Mo of VRAM and they are no hardware acceleration.
I try to install webdrivers, add the boot flag for nvidia drivers, try to disable, enable iGPU, try fixes,...
I think I've read all the forum topics related, tried lot of differents things but the end is already the same, my screen is black and the screen show "no signal" :/
Unfortunately, I think I do something wrong, but I don't know why

Can I have some help please ? I begin to desperate.
I've a asus z97-a, a nVidia 1070. I'm using iMac 17,2 definition

Sorry for my probably bad english, I'm french.

Thanks for your help
 
To complete my post.
Web drivers are working. I see my desktop on screen sharing. So, the problem is no signal is sending in the HDMI ouptut.
I try Lilu.kext and NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext but no success.

Have you done any of the black screen fixes for your system definition?
 
I have problem. In xcode, when i tried use "view hierarchy screen", i just see white screen, just not rendering. Bug games like WOW, works good o_O. What is problem?
 
Me too the same problem ... with nv_disable is loaded ... but when uncheck nv_disable they reboot after gIOScreenLockState ...

This is a driver signing issue. There are a few work around but none are ideal. Search for the Nvidia Web Driver iBooks bug.
 
Might have a solution for some.

I purchased 1050TI 4GB and like some it was only showing 7mb ram and I did get the Web Drivers installed and checked but could only boot by using nv_disable=1 otherwise I would get the black screen during the boot process in clover.

I tried all the fixes from this forum with no luck then I purchased this from Amazon and system booted fine now:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AYQ5APE/?tag=tonymacx86com-20

Basically I'm connecting with he Displayport and this adapter and I can get 4K @ 60hz.

Hope this helps others.

Hello. After a time I've switched to nvidia card over old HD7750. At that time there was no drivers for Pascal cards, so I used integrated HD4000. At this moment primary card in BIOS was IGD. After install first version of web drivers options was changed to PCIEX. And it worked well, along known issue with flickering after sleep. In my arch installation I wanted to try passthrough GPU to VM, so I switched to IGD in BIOS, after not being successful with VM in arch, I've switched back to PCIEX and macOS starts boot process and reboot back. Strange part that if I switch to IGD, and GTX still plugged in - macOS boots fine and monitor switched to that input works well(I have monitor with three inputs)
What I have done so far:
- rebuild kernel/kext cache
- updated web driver
- updated Clover 3423 -> 4077

All that above does not affect on boot process in this configuration. My HW config is:
AsRock Q77 vPro
i7 3770
MSI GTX 1060

macOS is installed on separate SSD, GRUB configured to manage boot entries. In clover my only edit was about sound - changed output 1 -> 2.
Thanks in advance.

So I did it by myself.
Don't know why, but after I have injected platform id macOS boots fine with PCIEX as primary GPU.
1. Mount EFI partition
2. Open config.plist with anything you like (Xcode in my case)
3. In Graphics section find or create ig-platform-id
4. set value to 0x19120000

Pros:
- I'm able to use GTX 1060 as primary device
Cons:
- Intel IGPU works badly, I'm able to boot up, but resolution is set to 1024x768

Will investigate IGPU issue further.
