Asgorath Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Well, I need my displays to work Do the beta drivers on page 1 work? I can always update to official later on The advice from my FAQ thread still applies: http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/frequently-asked-questions-about-nvidia-pc-non-efi-graphics-cards.1440150/ NVIDIA has had a good track record of releasing new web drivers for each version of OS as it comes out. Sometimes there is a delay of a few days, but in general a new driver is available quickly. Given that, it is advised you do one of the following: Update to the new OS, live with the stock drivers for a few days. Wait until the new driver is released by NVIDIA, then update to the new OS. I usually do the latter, since that allows me to get all the benefits of the web driver in the mean time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polyzargone Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Well, I need my displays to work Do the beta drivers on page 1 work? I can always update to official later on Yes you can. They work fine with final release of 10.11.2. The advice from my FAQ thread still applies: http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/frequently-asked-questions-about-nvidia-pc-non-efi-graphics-cards.1440150/ Irrelevant in that case. The FAQ talks about forcing the use of webdrivers from a previous minor update over the ones of a new release. Trying to force the 10.8.1 web driver to work with 10.8.2, for example, is just asking for trouble and will probably make your machine no longer boot to the desktop. Latest beta drivers from #1 are meant to run on 10.11.2, not 10.11.1 . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhcp011235 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Yes you can. They work fine with final release of 10.11.2. Irrelevant in that case. The FAQ talks about forcing the use of webdrivers from a previous minor update over the ones of a new release. Latest beta drivers from #1 are meant to run on 10.11.2, not 10.11.1 . They do "work" but I am noticing a lot of flicking in my current setup. I guess its better than having ONE display out of 3 working Thanks! I shall wait for a final release.

Asgorath Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Irrelevant in that case. The FAQ talks about forcing the use of webdrivers from a previous minor update over the ones of a new release. Not irrelevant, my point is that if you use (and particularly if you depend on) the web driver, just wait less than 24 hours for NVIDIA to release the web driver for the new OS version before you update. NVIDIA has been really good about getting a new driver out, so there's rarely been a problem with just waiting until the next day before you do the Software Update.

Asgorath Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Yet, the FAQ you pointed out is still irrelevant in that case. Your point is not. Did you actually read FAQ #2 in my post? In any case, the advice stands: if you rely on the web driver, wait until NVIDIA releases one before you do the Software Update. For the latest OS, this normally takes less than 24 hours.

eobiont Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) Is this a place where i can ask a question? i have a Z170xUD5 motherboard and a I7 skyline processor. My graphics card is 970GTX 4GB. I have been using SMBIOS code for iMac17,1 but when I boot with the web drivers installed and nvda_driver=1 I only get a black screen when the logon screen should appear. I have team viewer installed so I can remote to the computer. What I notice is that it cannot see an external display attached. It is only driving the (nonexistent) internal monitor. If I switch the SMBIOS to MacPro3,1 -- that seems to resolve the graphics problem, but that has a whole set of other problems with USB ports etc. Is there anything I can do to get the 970 to work correctly while the SMBIOS is set to iMac17,1? --I found the answer to this on a different forum. The answer is to edit the AppleGraphicsControl.kext. I found instructions on how to do this by google searching for Solving NVIDIA Driver Install & Loading Problems Edited December 15, 2015 by fantomas1 no direct link to tonymacx86! thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asgorath Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I figured out a way to have Clover patch NVDAStartup.kext to avoid the panic on boot when the stock drivers are enabled. This will come in handy when you're updating to a new OS from Apple, as it allows your Hackintosh to just boot up with no acceleration until you can install the new web drivers from NVIDIA. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284656-clover-general-discussion/?p=2197672 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantomas Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 F02 patched (15D) works fine with 10.11.3 build 15D9c don't know if it's right to tell that it's working fine because this patched driver allows me to boot only with vanilla drivers but I have QE_CI enabled with my GTX570 (10DE_1086)... something that I'm not able to have (black screen) without Clover FakeID (0x108110DE) or with the right web driver version. can you guys confirm it's also working for you? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polyzargone Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Yes it does ! I've just patched the NVDAStartupWeb.kext to match 15D as well and webdrivers are loaded and works fine with QE/CI on my GTX 650 Ti : Edited December 17, 2015 by polyzargone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
