First:

You Need A Working Internet Connection, Why Not Try A Later macOS?

Try Ventura, Your Specs Where Close To My Main Rig,

Which Is Now Retired,Sorry Lost The Clover EFI For It.

 

Second:

Try OpenCore Legacy Patcher, That MAY Be The Way To Go

It MAY Support The nVidia GPU

 

 

Good Luck

Hello. Ventura is currently being installed, so far without errors. Using OpenCore.

 

Only on the Ventura version will I have problems with the graphics card driver.

That's why I wanted High Sierra, because there are Web drivers for the nvidia graphics card. And on Ventura, I don't know how it will be.

 

[Andrei Moraru]

Ventura has been installed and everything is working fine. But there is a problem with the driver for the graphics card. I tried to install High Sierra from an earlier version of OpenCore. It gives the same error.

Tried this SMBios???

[cankiulascmnfye]

1. SMBIOS is wrong. It needs to be iMac18,3 as stated by Baio77 already
2. Fakecpuid for Penryn CPUs is present. Delete it.
3. NVIDIA Web needs to be enabled as well in System Parameters

[Andrei Moraru]

I decided to do it differently. I installed another version of Big Sur. And I changed the video card to RTX Radeon 550. It was installed well without any problems, but the sound does not work. I can't decide.

You can start with VoodooHDA
