Sauron17 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hey guys, I installed macOS Sierra 10.12.2 without problems. But after the installation of the Nvidia Web drivers it became tricky. The driver works well in a "running" environment, but I can’t shutdown my system properly. There’s a black screen(display is off) and I must shutdown it „manually“. I’m sure it’s because of the Nvidia Web driver. Booting with deactivated drivers solves the issue. What can I do? I never had any problems on Yosemite or El Capitan. The only change I made was setting my SMBios to MacPro5.1 rather than MacPro 4.1, because with 4.1 Sierra cannot be installed. PS: My DSDT of course have a shutdown fix. Thank you, Sauron17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauron17 Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 It's not working. EDIT: If I use iMac 14,2 as SMBios the driver operates normally. With iMac 14,2 I can shutdown. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 use iMac and test nativepm, if work good...done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauron17 Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 With iMac I have a horribly bad performance, so no native power management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauron17 Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 With MacPro 6.1 I get a blackscreen while starting. I also reinstalled Sierra, updated it to 10.12.3, installed the "new" nvidia web driver and tried it again. Same results 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauron17 Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 With MacPro6.1: Blackscreen at starting. With MacPro5.1: No shutdown/restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauron17 Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Ok I applied the patch and test it. Now I can boot with enabled driver as a MacPro6.1, but it seems the driver didn't work. I don't get graphic acceleration and I have vesa resolution. It's the same as booting with nv_disable=1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 i have a strange things with driver i need check in two sections see dopnt work for me only in System Parameters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauron17 Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Ok now the graphic is good, the driver works with MacPro6.1. I can properly shutdown/reboot. But I have again no native power management For example: With MacPro5.1 I get in Cinebench around 830 Points, with MacPro6.1 only 320. With MacPro6.1 all the Cores are everytime at 1.60GHz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauron17 Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 So I think I have my solution. As a MacBookPro6.1 my computer is operating normally. The Graphic is working and I have native power management. I can properly shutdown/reboot/sleep. Can I use a Desktop as a Laptop? Or are there any problems? PS: The script has the same result.

Pluskat5000Schiffe Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 i'm not so pro as MalD0n of course but I think you guys are messing a few things up. The low cinebench score indicate a low memory or core clock of the GTX980TI. It doesn't have to do with the p-c states of the CPU. Try to view the clock speeds with hwmonitor (which you get installing latest FakeSMC). The differents in SMBIOS as systemtypes initiated different clocks or power states to the videocard. If I remember correctly this is managed bij AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.Kext or something. You can tune the power states to your demands but of course as soon you upgrade you need to adjust it again. See this. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkos Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Sauron17, how did you solve the problem you describe in #15? I have exactly the same situation in Sierra 10.12.3 - only the DVI output of the Quadro has a signal and it is 800x600 with min. colors and no acceleration. In contrast, all three graphic ports (DP+DVI+VGA) work fine under El Capitan with the web drivers. Here is what I've done: 1. Patched AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext: its Info.plist is attached 2. Patched the SSDT and renamed the Quadro to GFX1: attached as well I am also attaching my clover config and the output of registry explorer in order to see how the booted system looks like. Will be VERY grateful for each and every hint as I am fiddling for the third day in a row now and this drives me nuts. EDIT: I now opened a #new thread as barely anybody will find my question here in this comment ...
