AFAIK Nvidia has limitations for reso with vesa mode; my native display is 1366x768 however only 1360x768 is max supported << so I use the last one selected on Clover GUI. So, choose closest one to ur native disp reso, I guess.

 

Terminal: bdmesg

Yup, exactly. My card only has a 1280x1024 VESA mode and that is all I get at Clover boot.

I just saw a notification in the top right of my screen saying security update installed, I was testing sleep and my sound was low so I rebooted to see if it still was low or not and Nvidia web drivers tell my incompatible with this version of macOS.

 

Guess this means my install is borked after only having it up a couple days, unless there is a update available for macOS since the version of the drivers above my post don't work.

tells me no update available, still shows I am on 10.13.1.

 

also since you have the same audio, is your onboard really low? I'm using AppleALC and Lilu.

Use the Nvidia web driver updater or the link further up to get new drivers. I have normal audio.

This is driver. Never used that script but you can if you like.

What layout id are you using for audio?

PKG_OSVERSION_HIGHT_SIERRA_17=17B1002

 

dont after apple update ... after update osx is 17B1003

 

It's just for faking os buildversion for nvidia's pkg version checking.

You can also use this script in 17C83a(latest beta build).

You Sir, are top class! You've just ended a 5 hour nonstop trial and error marathon and are officially my hero for this week! After the latest semi-mandatory 2017-001 update of OSX 10.13.1, my build number was on 17B1003 and the Nvidia drivers didn't feel particularly like making my GTX do anything. My pretty much maxed out 2009 MacPro is purring like a kitten again.

To solve, just run the command in the terminal?
