to avoid black screen use Lilu.kext + NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext in Clover/Kexts/Other

 

if ur bios is a last version(support Kabylake) need EmuVariableUefi-64.efi

It can only be installed on 10.12.4

---EDIT---

Hey guys, I was running Witcher 2 on my hack using the newly released Pascal Web drivers and during the opening cut scene where the guy throws the freezing tube, as soon as the glass breaks my hack restarted. Anybody else have that problem?

Confirmed Working !  :)

 

 

Thanks to c_frio for pointing me to this thread.

 

post-66029-0-81676100-1492725989_thumb.png

 

i7 Kaby Lake 

 

Gigabyte z270XP-SLI BIOS version f5

 

iMac 17,1 profile

 

GTX-970

 

make sure that EmuVariableUefi.efi is installed in your EFI 

 

(I had to manually copy it... Clover didn't install the file when I upgraded regardless of it being selected) 

 

activate the driver from a terminal.

 

      $ sudo nvram nvda_drv=1

 

I was greeted with a black screen once the driver kicked in.

 

To Fix the black screen:

  1. unplug the monitor for a few seconds.

  2. plug the monitor back in.

 

 

 

Hope this tip helps someone out.

Oh hey, I can play Metal games on my 1080 GTX without everything going completely nuts. Had to roll all the renderers back to OpenGL under f1.

Hello,

 

I've successfully installed the latest driver on my following configuration:

Mac Mini with Sierra -> via TB2 to Sonnet Echo III-D with Gigabyte GTX 1060 -> via HDMI to external TV

 

Booting either to Win 10 for gaming (works perfekt!) or to OS X for other activities, however with two issues:

1. Sound via HDMI not possible (solved by using ear speaker out of the Mini connected to TV)

2. Noticed that under iTunes rented movies will not be displayed (black screen, movie not playing). Movie can only be played when reconnecting the Mac Mini via 2nd HDMI directly to the TV (with issue that the driver switches back to the internal GPU)

3. After some time under OS X using Safari to seek through the internet the safari window is partially flickering

 

Does anyone noticed same or similar issues and/or has solutions for my issues?

Make sure About this Mac shows your actual card being displayed under 'Graphics' description and not being injected

Nice... will check out soon after wrk. Hope this fixes my issue I addressed prior

Was able to get thru the opening cut scene in Witcher 2 w/o my hack restarting on me, however the the menu options in the UI keep flickering. Hope NVIDIA can release some better drivers to resolve this
