Allan Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Maybe you need take a look into your power management. And for graphics, look here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjanv Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Maybe you need take a look into your power management. And for graphics, look here. after adding nv_disable=1 then the system boots to the desktop. I've used this guide: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/317548-guide-macos-sierra-10121-on-gigabyte-z170x-gaming-5/ didn't see anything about power management. i use Clover_v2.3k_r3911 what do you mean by this post? http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304530-clover-change-explanations/page-2?do=findComment&comment=2277183 what should i you? thanks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arjanv Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Specs: GA-Z170X-Gaming 5 I7-6700k Gigabyte GTX960 4GB SSD 32GB memory is it better to use El Capitan? mainly i want to use Logix Pro X see screenhots. The videocard model is listen as NVIDIA Chip Model 7 MB. I've set the nvidiaweb checkbox. Or are these screen problems not a videocard/driver issue?

Allan Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Try change Nvidia to True. <key>Graphics</key> <dict> <key>Inject</key> <dict> <key>NVidia</key> <true/> </dict> And boot without nvda_drv=1 is it better to use El Capitan? mainly i want to use Logix Pro X IMHO I don't see advantages in macOS Sierra.

Vladicio Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 (edited) Offcource I'v fatto. modello della mia carta è: Gigabyte GV-N960WF2OC-4GD io uso la porta DVI con un adattatore da DVI a VGA. può che essere il problema? follow the advice of SavageAUS I have a 2 gb GTX 960 and I solved doing as he recommends. I do not think the problem is the adapter you say. Ciao http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/318161-kext-audio-realtek-alc887-non-funziona/ my problem,please.

Before the nvidia drivers the screen refresh is slow and some glitches see screenshots. The SMBIOS is the key. Try iMac 14.2. This has been proven to be the best for nvidia 9xx series.

This has been proven to be the best for nvidia 9xx series. okay, but i've got a i6700k skylake cpu. is that a problem? or can i just change the number to 14.2 in config.plist?

Allan Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 okay, but i've got a i6700k skylake cpu. is that a problem? If you want a better compatibility, use a proper SMBios for your hardware. This can help in power management, and etc. But you can do a test.... or can i just change the number to 14.2 in config.plist? No, is not just change the model number. You'll need create a new SMBios with iMac 14.2 information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjanv Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 I've clicked on NVDAStartupWeb.kext patch and patch immediately in the web driver utility. when i do this it seems te work, but only when connected to a DP port. dvi not working. Don't know if this is the way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
