I think you're on the right track. The BIOS settings look consistent with what's needed for running macOS Big Sur or Catalina on a non-Apple hardware setup. Remember to double-check the usual suspects like ensuring that the 'Secure Boot' is disabled and that you're using the correct platform-id for your GPU. The device-properties section in your config.plist should match your hardware specifics for the GT730. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And use nv_disable=1 boot-arg, so the card runs in VESA mode. After applying root patches, you can remove the boot-arg On 11/29/2023 at 7:02 PM, cankiulascmnfye said: @oldman20 Empty Framebuffer = iGPU is only used for computational tasks and not displaying a picture. IQSV (= Intel QuickSync Video) is a computational task, for example. And since you didn't follow my instructions your iGPU is now misconfigured. Because you have BOTH iGPU and GPU configured for displaying picture. So, change the following: AAPL,ig-platform-id to 04001204 Leave Device ID as is Disable framebuffer… entries (put # in front), dlete the agdc entry Delete nvidia_drv_vrl=1 >> Not required for kepler card. Otherwise you tell the system to load web drivers (which are not present anyway) while telling it to use VESA mode at the same ime. BTW: the correct boot-arg is nvda_drv_vrl=1 NOT nvidia_drv_vrl=1 Save the config.plist and Reboot. 11 hours ago, cankiulascmnfye said: @oldman20 I already told you what the config issues are… Many thank, i think has impruved. Now after patch with oclp and remove nv_disable=1 boot-flag, still can bootable, but still not patch gt730? Any reason, pls? 12 hours ago, ArcaneRhapsody said: Sure...

cankiulascmnfye Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) @oldman20 Well, the card is detcted and working. You have a picture and the card is listed in System Profiler. The white desktop in Sonoma indicates that acceleration is not working due to the missing Kepler Drivers. Delete nv_disable=1 Save your config and reboot Use the latest beta version of OCLP (1.3.0) for patching and check if it detects the card now If it still doesn't detect the card automatically, we have to enable the patch in the source code of OLCP and compile a custom build. Instructions later. The reason it's not detected is most likely that the device-id for GT 730 is not in the pool of supported deviced of OCLP if it has not been used in any of the real Apple Mac models.

I think will trying beta ver Btw, i think must add nv_disable=1 first, then run oclp, right? Why u said this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cankiulascmnfye Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 @oldman20 Are you sure, your GT 730 is a Kepler card? Because apparently, 2 variants exist: Fermi (GF 108) and Kepler (GK208B). And Fermi is not compatible. If the drivers have been installed successfully (no error messages in OCLP) and if the card is a Kepler card, delete nv_disable=1 so accelleration works after next reboot. If this doesn't work there's an issue with the patcher that has to be fixed first. I know that in 14.2 beta there are issues with patching Kepler cards. But in 14.1. it should work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG, my mistake, i remember it is GF108 😅 So now only choice is hd 4400, but i tried before do with gt730, and no luck. Would u teach me for hd 4400 like the way do with gt 730?

Yeah, never forget now! Should i need similiar boot flag like nv_disable=1 in nvidia for intel hd4400? I cant find info about disable-agdc key, what's it for?

I have issue back after followed instruction: boot freeze after patched hd 4400, maybe reason i still connect vga port? I added -igfxvesa then reboot and run oclp to patch system, is it correctly or needed? Quick notes: - SPI and AMFI must be disabled (not required if you're going to use Monterey or lower, where the iGPU still has support) - If booting Ventura, boot with "-igfxvesa" the first time. Disable it after patching with OCLP. Edited December 2, 2023 by oldman20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldman20 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) Affter patched with (and without) -igfxvesa boot-flag, system boot "freeze" in this boot-log, but numlock led still responsible, so i think it not freeze, current i connect VGA port, maybe that's reason? maybe need connect dvi-d port? And i can boot after patched with -igfxvesa boot-flag Edited December 2, 2023 by oldman20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cankiulascmnfye Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) Since, you left your unsupported FERMI GT 730 in your system without disabling it in macOS, I suggest you disable it. So add -wegnoegpu boot-arg And just to make sure: check in BIOS if the iGPU is enabled or not.
