Warning graphics incompatibility NVIDIA GTX960 Gaming G1! Windows 10, for now...

Are you still using the same config.plist that you used before ?
A corrupt config.plist is the same as no config.plist at all.

Which system definition are you using ?

No, I did a clean install so the config.plist should be ok. I did not inject or select anything either, so it is theoretically clean. Just installed nvidia and added nvda_drv=1 (fuzzy screen) and after that nvda_disable=1 (it boots in low res)

System definition Mac Pro 3.1

It seems to be either defective/incompatible hardware or pilot error.

No more ideas - Sorry

Post a picture as requested in Post #19.

Pic of the "fuzzy bootscreen"?

Coming up. It's not static, it is just the regular screen where you normally have the login-in box. The box does not show, I just get the screen. I can not attach any image or embed it, but I've put it here:

Thanks in advance

That's strange. Did you try enabling auto-login, so you won't need the (invisible) login box? Never seen that issue before.

I just tried, I get to an entirely empty homescreen. No icons, no menu, irresponsive mouse (and no cursus) and no keyboard.

Can you boot in verbose mode to see where it gets stuck?

Just booted in verbose. Just before the screen goes to the fuzzy one I posted before I get the following:

Thanks for your help so far

Or wait, I had to try a few times, but there is another line before the fuzzy screen appears, see linked image below:

Can't see anything graphics related in there (and I honestly also don't think your issue is purely graphics related).

Are you using a USB WIFI dongle? I think it's causing most of those warnings. Might be unrelated, but I'd try to remove it.

Nope, no usb wifi dongle, I do run a pci wifi card, but it has never used issues so far and if I pull it, I get the same result on the gpu (I tried). I only have a usb mouse and keyboard attached for set-up.

All i can conclude is that there must be a hardware conflict somewhere, but all bits are on the compatibility charts, so they should theoretically run ok... I'm a bit lost though. Just spent another half day trying everything and if anything, I have gone backwards with a drop in resolution from 2560 to 1600. I can't really keep doing this, much as I wish it to work. Need to keep the lights on, so I guess it will be windows 10 after all

Maybe as a mod you can flag this possible compatibility issue so others don't go this way. There seem to be gpu's that run fine, including nvidia 960's.
