Maybe someone can help me out, as everything works fine with my build (with this
guide)
After some upgrades.. from a i7-6850K to E5-2696 v4 the Nvidia drivers still work (HT-Disabled) with the old graphics cards.
As the Hyper-Treading be enabled in the bios (
22 cores/44 threads) Nvidia driver manager don't load anymore.
But the webdriver is still enabled because acceleration still works, and CUDA detect a GPU.
Now on point I get being driven crazy when changed my 2* Titan X (Maxwell) to 2* EVGA GTX 1080Ti FTW3
Nice upgrade with this GPU's you would think... not !
( It's in the buyers guide so compatible.. )
As I boot the system cant load MacOS and sometime I get a distorted screen, and clover keeps hanging on CPU configuration.
With a black screen but the system boots because I hear a sound the GPU send a signal to my monitor ( + teamviewer is online)
And sometime certainly the system boots acceleration doesn't work anymore..
The Nvidia driver manager just load on the system settings, but no GPU detected on the ECC tab + CUDA preference panel.
But the driver manager keeps hanging on the OSX Driver ( even when I delete the nvram.plist from the EFI partition )
I Have read 20 pages back on this topic for a solution, and already done many things thats required to get a working system:
- AGDPfix 1.3 ( patch confirmed )
- AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext -> Info.plist: Mac-F60DEB81FF30ACF6 = None
[sysctl -n machdep.xcpm.vectors_loaded_count] keeps returning always: 0 as XCPM is enabled and returned: 1
- EmuVariableUefi-64 @ Clover-> drivers64UEFI = Nvram.plist is stored @ EFI
- Clover config: NvidiaWeb = True
The solution to use the SMBIOS: iMac14,1 is also not working and possible because im using XCPM SMBIOS MacPro6,1 that is required
With a Xeon E5-2696 v4 for a correct power management for my CPU
Update 1:
For testing with a fresh install on a spare SSD the problem still exist but now I see..
On clover verbose boot I get status off: NVDAStartupWeb:Web + NVDAGP100HAL:loaded®istered ( right kext for pascal ? )
As research it's not the right kext that loaded? because pascal is NVDAGP102 but cant find it back in Extensions..
By the way for the extra information I'm using 4 monitors + wacom cintiq connected with 3 displayport cables & 1 HDMI&DVI cable
And with changing cables in different ports, I get from the black screen one time a very strange clover message:
And attached my clover EFI map, hopefully someone can help me out please as hard as I need the system for my work.
When especially its getting very busy at the moment with projects for my business this happens
Update 2:
After removing the second GPU, applying the GPU SSDT, and very strange the old method for nvidia drivers: nvda_drive=1
I got a working GPU with acceleration and HT enabled in the bios with 22 Cores / 44 Threads..
But Nvidia Driver manager don't load on system settings, besides CUDA preference pane just load & detect GPU
( + in chrome some artifacts, same with my Titan X thought they where broken so depends on hyper threading on CPU
But with using the second GPU the system don't boot, so now my second GTX 1080Ti is crying in his box
