muiterz Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I have a 5 monitor setup which works perfectly in windows and my old hackintosh project. I've upgraded to new CPU and I cannot get my 8800GT Nvidia gpu working. My setup: 16gb ram 6800k cpu r290 GPU (3 monitor output is working perfectly, RIFT as well) 8800GT Nvidia Several SSD's I inject r290 and it's working fine. I did the same with my 8800 gt and I can login mac os and see in system profile both cards.But I can only boot witouth any DVI cable (on my 8800gt, 290 is fine). I use clover. Do I really need the nvidia web drivers? Because I read somewhere that my card is too old for nvidia drivers. What do you recommend? I fil in fake id, ports 2 (I have 3, but one not a monitor output but tv (no hdmi)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0000-1248 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Web drivers support the 8800GT. Give em a go. http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/125379/en-us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When connecting DVI the system hungs It may be a CPU issue, I can run dual RX 480 cards on my Haswell Pentium but with Skylake and above it won't work only black screen.

Oh that sucks. No workaround? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxattack Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Long ago I had issues with the 8800 GT myself and ended up flashing it with a Quattro FX bios, and never looked back! I flashed it to a Quattro FX card almost out of the box until it died last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
