SSDT GPU (Graphics Card) Injection

[Petko166]

Dear shilohh,

Please take a look on my screenshots. ....Almost,. BUT

1.I have 2 displays. A 4k TV connected to the PC with HDMI2.0 and a FULL HD TV connected to the PC with Display port.
2.If I plug in only the 4k TV black screen effect but the system response. (Typical case as you described)
3.If I plug the Full HD TV as well (next to the 4k hdmi) the screen and the performance as you can see is perfect on full HD TV.
4.The upper things after the clean install. I created SSDTs for peg0 to gfx1 for to PCI1 and PCI0 but the situation is very similar without any SSDT-s. HD TV works 4k don't.

As I see the IOreg the rename won't work but both GTX1080 detected perfectly. Only 1 thing is strange : Both TV detected 4k.

Please give me some advice to step forward.

Attachment:

1. screenshot
2. DSDT from Origin
3. modified SSDT and SSDT-1 (for 2nd GPU)

Shilohh,

Thx for the time and effort for creating this guide. I thought I followed the instructions, I see that the GPU is being assigned to GFX1, but am still dealing with the blank screen issue.

Initially, I've tried different systems definitions (MacPros, but presently 14,2), disable the BIOS on board graphics, inserted Lilu.kext and nvidiagraphicsfixup.kext into the
/Library/Extensions
/System/Library/Extensions (using kextBeast)
/efi/clover/kexts/others
directories as well as used AGDPfix to modify the AppleGraphicsControl.kext

Since this didn't work, I changed my configuration to MacPro 6,1 and tried modifying the GPU assignment as you suggested. I'm still with a blank screen (which can be controlled from another mac).

I was looking for clarification on issue. I identified my GPU in PEGP@0. This corresponded to the paths:
_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP
_SB.PCI0.PEG1.PEGP
_SB.PCI0.PEG2.PEGP

Each had an address of _ADR,ZERO

As described in step 3B, I patched SSDT-1 with the contents of the file Disable PCI0.PEG0.PEGP.txt. I repeated the patching of SSDT-1 two additional times replacing PEG0 for PEG1 and then PEG2. As the last step, I changed the "PCI0" to PEG0 and added the Nvidia Maxwell HDMI SSDT patch

It was compiled without an issue and I placed it into the patched folder. Unfortunately when rebooting I ended up with the same blank screen problem.

I only have the single GTX-950; however, did I need to create three separate SSDT files one for each of PEG0, PEG1, PEG2? If so, which one should receive the @0? Any other suggestions?

is there a mixup in the tutorial? the

https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/ssdt-gpu-graphics-card-injection.183354/#post-1197682

before / after code segments have

Device (_SB.PCI0.NPE3.GFX1)

and then

Device (_SB.PCI0.BR3A.GFX1) ??

or is this purpose...

and step 3b? edit patches so that the path matches exactly your path? what is "my" path?

my GPU seems to be at \_SB.PCI0.PEG0.GFX0

should i patch something that is already zero? (check image from this post)

Hi....
I just changed my card to EVGA Geforce GTX 1070 FTW2 Gaming. Please help verify whether I must apply the patching?
It is GFX1 at the beginning.
Thanks.

Hey Shilohh! What great guide you maked buddy! It worked wonderfully for me! Only one thing I still cannot figure out. How do i change the boot display to @2? I've tried with the patch of correspondent display, but it did'nt work. Can you help me please?

Thanks @shilohh for this great guide, only got a couple questions ¿
I have upgraded on my Asus X99 Deluxe || from 2* Titan X (maxwell) -> 2* EVGA GTX 1080Ti FTW3

Which works very well with both graphics card's in my system, but now I changed the GPU's the system don't boot anymore..
As solution use 1 GPU in the system it boots normal, and apply the SSDT GPU for each card one at a time.

The first time with the disable patch the SSDT GPU for my first card returned from H000@0 to:

([email protected]@3.D080@0 )

Then patched again with the desired "D080" patch from the text files, and then it returned with the wished "GFX1@0"

- SSDT-1.aml = ([email protected]@3.H000@0 ) @ GFX1@0
= (_SUN, One) + "onboard-1"

- SSDT-2.aml = ([email protected]@2.D07E@0 ) @ GFX1@0
= (_SUN, 0x02) + "onboard-2"

When I install both GPU's back into the PCIe slots, the system don't boot anymore stuck on a black screen or clover verbose..

Before the upgrade installed: Lilu.kext & NVDAStartupWeb.kext + AGDPfix 1.3 witch patched plist from: AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext

From:

   <key>Mac-F60DEB81FF30ACF6</key>
   <string>Config1</string>

To:

   <key>Mac-F60DEB81FF30ACF6</key>
   <string>none</string>

The problem now because of a blackscreen?: AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext don't request into the info.plist:

<key>Config1</key>
            <dict>
                <key>GFX1</key>
                <dict>
                    <key>unload</key>
                    <false/>
                </dict>

As for the information for other people who are stuck on this point with a SMBIOS: MacPro6,1

Whats is the best solution for this? when I return board ID: Mac-F60DEB81FF30ACF6 -> to "Config1" it's unload the ports..
And clover verbose get stuck on GPU1 (SSDT-1) and GPU2 boots with a distorted screen trough displayport:

IOConsoleUsers: time(0) 0->0, lin 0, llk1,
IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockState 3, hs 0, bs 0, now 0, sm 0x0

Another question, maybe is it possible is there a way to patch the GPU fan speeds on temperatures with a SSDT ?

OMG.....Yeah! Success.
Thanks a lot...Mr. Vulgo. You're like my God. It has been half a year under hopeless.

My GTX1060 can have full 6GB. Dell P2415Q can work. Two monitors can display normally.
However, the max resolution is 3008x1692, not 4K. Any idea, sir? However, I'm very glad what I can have now.

I uploaded my files as a case study for other persons to try out, and also if you want to verify it again.

Confirm. This post does really work, especially a great help from Mr. Vulgo.


Thanks a lot to Mr. Vulgo again.

Does your hdmi audio work?

First of all: GREAT blog. Thanks, shilohh (but also thanks to slim.jim for directing me to the SSDT). I have two cards (1) EVGA GeForce GT 640 and (2) EVGA GeForce GT 440. Well you know the problem (one Fermi the other it's not). Following your guide shilohh, I was able to write two SSDT (attached) and changing name of both GPU to GFX1(attached a screen shot of IORegistryExplorer). Success! However, I have to inject Nvidia for my second card (440), and I do it before booting. I don’t mind I can place true in the config.plist (by the way where? I attached the config.plist). I can attach 1 Apple Cinema display to each card. Success! I suspect that I can attach a third Apple Cinema (and maybe a fourth one) to my first card (to my second card). Great! The trouble comes when I try to connect an HDMI to the first card (nothing happens to my HDMI video, it says no connection) or when I try to connect an HDMI to my second card (actually in this case I lose the video from the second Apple Cinema). Any idea why? I am using MB Asus P7P55D-E-Pro, with i7. Anyway, thanks shilohh!!

You actually don't want to use clover's injections. You can accomplish the same result using the ssdt for the firmi card. Save a ioreg with your current working config so you can use the data in your ssdt.

OMG! No even the time to prepare some spaghetti all'aglio e olio and you shilohh replied!! Yes now it works. I did what you said in your post (that is for MIXED card, that is not all Fermi cards, but for mixed cards not to turn off the Nvidia injection). In any case now works. HOWEVER, still I do not get HDMI screen to work with the two Apple Cinema connected (but as I said this week I will test with a third DVI and I suspect it will work). THX shilohh.
Update. The three DVI works! One actually is a Samsung TV with HDMI to DVI adapter. Also the audio works. THX again shilohh
