Woot, now on 10.11.3 up from 10.10.4. Did it so I could play XCOM 2. I have been holding off on it so it was due. It was pretty straight forward, did a test run on another disk before just using the install app like a real mac. Some nv_disable=1 then driver. Redid the audio terminal commands and done. Unfortunately the blue tooth dongle no longer works, oohhboy fucked around with this message at 04:54 on Feb 7, 2016 |

A quick PSA for Nvidia users that the latest OSX update (10.11.4) now has drivers. Usual nv_disable=1 dance.

You should be able to as the driver setting is done in Clover not in OSX. So install the driver, switch cards then nv_enable=1 in clover boot args and you should go straight into OSX without issues. You will still have to juggle in the future as that is the price you pay for Nvidia support.

I should have been more specific, what GPU are you using since I don't know your loadout? Have you switched off the integrated? If Nvidia, are the drivers installed? Have a read of the OP if you haven't as the info is still applicable that aren't super specific. I am not sure Macdrive can see the Clover partition if you need to mess around with it. I might have some more ideas for you to try once I know more. Shame enMTW hasn't been active for a while as he is far more knowledgeable than I am.

Yeah, uninstall the card for now and run off the integrated or run nv_disable=1 with your card plugged in and remove the kexts related to it or just fresh install(Best option). Otherwise to get rid of the Kexts you either use Macdrive or safe mode console commands assuming you know where they are. Once you are loaded into OSX you need to install the latest Nvidia WebDrivers for OSX. Once that is done in Clover Boot args you need to use nv_drv=1 with your card installed. If things aren't working at that point you still should be able to get in using nv_disable=1.quote:Installing the Nvidia Web Driver But yeah, those Kexts are seriously out of date and Nvidia has proper solutions to run your card which isn't officially supported by the Apple drivers. I know you used a turnkey solution but read the OP anyway as to opens up the black box and does trouble shooting for all the common problems. The White Dragon posted:If I do try that, what's the paths I'm looking for as far as copying the mobo and new CPU drivers? quote:Also download FakeSMC. Every motherboard requires FakeSMC to boot. It is the one mandatory kext. Don't forget to do this!

There might be as Fake SMC handles power management as without it things might not work and when it does without it you have the CPU fan running full tilt. That said it doesn't manage the GPU. This might be of help. http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/gpu-fan-control-nvidia.65423/ I would advise not tinkering with this as the methods posted are questionable and the default setting are handling the situation well even if it might be a like bit more aggressive than you might like at idle. But to answer your question, yes it is possible.

I've been using (and am still using) a Nvidia GTX... 770? 780? and I installed the kexts for it back when I built the original computer. My only concern is that MacDrive might not be able to get into the Library folders, but it should be okay, right?

This sort of sounds sort of related to the shut down problem when you install OSX. When you try to restart or shutdown from it the installer can't send the command to the hardware because it doesn't know the instructions due to a couple factors like the installer not getting the full set of tweaks and features for the MB. Are you opening applications after you have given the shutdown command or are applications that are still open when the shutdown is given? You have stated both and I am trying to figure out which one you are doing.

Can you -v and take note of the readouts as it shuts down. Just having an App opened and one straight power up and shut down. It might offer some clues. Check for FakeSMC. What OSX are you running? Are you using Clover? What method did you use to install? Had a look through the OP? Fresh install? That MB is sort of getting on the edge of supportability, so you might just have to live with it as is if you are running El Capitan.

You enter -v in the boot aurgs at the clover boot screen under options. If have done it right you will have screens and screens of text. When you shutdown have a camera ready to take a photo of the screen. You will need two, one normal shutdown, one abnormal shutdown. Legacy mode I assume. Can you link me to the dude's walkthrough.

Almost any Gigabyte board for maximum ease and compatibility as it has the Secret SauceTM. I run a GA Z97X Gaming 7 and a GA H97M. CPU wise i3/5/7 anything, avoid server/Xeon chips unless you get one that Apple specificity uses as compatibility is low and we don't know jack about it when it comes to issues so you will be on your own. AMD CPU are death zones to be avoided at all cost just in case you didn't know. Use the TonyMac hardware list to double check your options. I recommend that you go Nvidia as AMD cards have some specific problems with some games and compatibility is falling as AMD doesn't provide non-Apple driver support like Nvidia does. If you do go Nvidia, every time there is an update wait a couple of days before applying it as Nvidia's drivers need a day or two to catch up. If you grab the same board as I have or something close to it the guide is 100% good as it was built on those two boards. But the info is good for almost any other modern GA board as of this time. If you use a turnkey solution like Multibeast I can't help you much as it black boxes a lot of the details that the guide goes into. That said, if it works for you go for it, it doesn't hurt too much to give it a shot if the guide is too much for you. El Capitan is perfectly fine. What was the issue you are worried about? The only serious bug I ran into was the dashboard problem where I lose control of the mouse buttons if I invoked it. Problem solved by never using the dashboard. Launcher is safe though. If enMTW ever comes back he can provide far better info than I ever can especially of the new tools and the like I am not aware of. If you can spare space on another disk make a backup Hack so if the primary goes down you have something to fall back on you know works or use it to check updates before applying them. It has saved my rear end more times than I can count when I did something dumb. error1 posted:I could't get the Clover guide in the OP to work with my Gigabyte GA-Z96X-Gaming 3, El Capitan 10.11.4 would hang on boot. After a bunch of trial and error I tried to build a newer version of Clover with the CloverGrower utility and that fixed it. It was a little bit more simpler for me when I upgraded as I was having the same problem, but since I was being an idiot all I had to do was to update Clover. That said I have a mega smooth Hack. It wasn't easy and I did it the hard way, but it taught me well.

eightysixed posted:Okay, the new DSDT file didn't work. But I did notice that the OP says to select Mac Pro(3,1) LGA 775, whereas my motherboard is a LGA 1366. Would I be better off checking Mac Pro (4,1) LGA 1366? Logic says yes. What about the 'Fix Shutdown' option? I am not surprised that the new DSDT didn't work as IIRC it is there for peripherals (Sound, USB) and for very specific fixes as Clover handles all that now. You shouldn't need a custom DSDT since your board was already functioning just fine aside from shutdown. Try fix shutdown option first. If it doesn't work it is harmless. Swapping out the card is a good thing if only to eliminate that from the list + AMD cards are getting squirrelly support. If the card boots to blank screen before it gets to desktop use nv_disable=1 in the boot args to get to desktop and install the nvidia web drivers. Look up OpenHaltRestart.kext and evoboot as they deal directly with those states. At worse it might act a bit erratic but shouldn't stop a boot if it doesn't work. Make sure it goes into S/L/E. You might be one of the edge cases where using 4,1 might be the ticket. 3,1 covers almost all hacks as it is the most generalised set of options that a Mac can have. The wrong one means it acts erratic or doesn't work at all. If you a willing to possibly suck up another reinstall go ahead and try. Whatever you do, don't try all these things in one go or else you won't know what fixed it. At this point I can't think of anything else. You might just have to take the inconvenience and "Manually" hit the power button. You have done well to get to El Cap as I would have never considered that board good for it.

Switch it back to 3,1 and see if that works as you broke that. Check back into the OP and see if you are running into the EN0 issue. Without a "Real" ID iMessage will always be flaky. It is likely if going back to 3,1 you will have to generate a new ID. Disappointing Pie posted:If one wanted to dual boot OS X and Windows 10 on separate hard disks, following the guide in this thread, is it relatively trivial to just follow along and install OS X first then run the Windows 10 USB installer on the other drive? Just wanna make sure I have my ducks in a row for when I give this a shot. Trivial. Make sure to physically or logically disconnect the OSX drive or any other drive before installing Windows as Windows will either throw a poo poo fit or gently caress up the OSX drive's EFI partition. Once you are done direct the boot sequence to the disk with Clover ie OSX and it will take it from there with a nice menu to select what you want.

Escape Goat posted:Any idea if a GTX 1080 will work in a Hackintosh? The answer is Yes*. Just a question of when. Nvidia has been very good with it's non-Apple driver support. IIRC 780ti support came out 6 months later, but that didn't require an OS revision. 980 support came out a month later. So if you want to start an office pool it wouldn't be a bad one to base one on. So 1080? My guess is under 2 months and I would only stomp up 5 bucks on that bet. It will be supported. Just don't go AMD, that is poo poo house. What are you trying to achieve other than the greatest and latest? Single chip 4k is still no go or very rough, so 1440 is the current realistic target. *Some dude in the thread plugged it in and it ran really slow but it ran.

I had a quick look and it should be doable. If you want to you can do a relatively quick test with clover and an install stick. If that works well enough to get you to the install screen you can go further with the OP guide as that is meant to cover as many possibilities as possible that is motherboard agnostic.

We would probably just use a new number to designate what "Mac" we are running and might just need a bit more tweaking. 3,1 has had a good run and the current tools is very streamlined. You will obviously still good to go if you have a newer hardware, it's still too early to call it for older Hacks unless you are somehow still on x86 instead of x64.

It might also be your CPU over heating causing it to throttle. Checked some Blizzard games, looks it might be a Blizzard problem as I don't have any other Metal games to test. SC runs crazy slow while Diablo runs at a higher frame rate there is micro stuttering. Do the hardware tests anyway as it doesn't hurt and might let you get ahead of other problems.

Did you check the OP as that is the way it "should" be done for sound? Ticking all the boxes breaks audio as they conflict. Ticking all the boxes for network isn't the way to it either as you should only have the kext to your chip only. The extras are one more point of failure you will have to eliminate later if something goes wrong. I looked it up, you need ALC887 codec when given the choice whether you pick the OP or Beast method. I highly recommend the OP as once done you pretty much never need to deal it it from one point release to another. The only time it might break is when they do a full step release where you have to update Clover anyway. Just follow the same steps again and don't worry about it for another 1-2 years. Your LAN should be a Realtek.

I went a little further by having a second hackintosh drive ready for quite a while. That saved me more then once and it made things a lot easier to recover since I don't have to do things via command line. I don't have a backup system drive now since I have cheap MacBook Pro with a dock if I need to do direct changes in an event I run into problems again.

Not exactly Drivers, but Nvidia hasn't forgotten Macs. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2017-geforce-now-cloud-streaming-coming-to-pc-and-mac quote:Nvidia has announced a substantial revamp of its GeForce Now cloud-based streaming service. The system is set for a March relaunch, allowing you to stream your existing PC games library from the cloud.

Wow, would have ungraded to Sierra ages ago if I knew it was this smooth. The Web Drivers worked through out so no typing in nv_disable every reboot or black screens. All I had to really do was switch to Mac Pro 5.1, shake it with Clover config and redo the audio with a dropped in terminal command. It appears to run even cooler. (Likely due to better weather and better power management profile from 5,1). GA97X GAMING 7. KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:Sierra won't switch to the nVidia web driver, when I try to switch to it in the app it restarts correctly but still shows "OS X Default Graphics Driver" as enabled. I have two 670 GTX. Match the model number to the CPU is close as you can (Via Clover Configurator as it lists CPU and socket). It is possible your processor is no longer fully supported by Sierra hence the failed shutdown.

Decided to convert the other machine to Sierra and ended up in failure after several hours of work. Rewind the damage with time machine back to 10.11.6.I ended up being the Nvidia 610 was not supported OOTB anymore nor did the Web Drivers. Might have a look at the iGPU option but it looks to be an even more difficult hence why people slot in cards like 610's like I have. Anyone here have any experience using iGPUs?

Just came upon a discovery! The Nvidia 780ti is OOBT on Sierra and metal compliant. I even tried it on a different partition with the web drivers removed. This is why I didn't have to type in nv_disable=1 when I upgraded. However either methods seems to introduce their own bugs. The Web Driver renders some games unplayable due to visual problems while the Native drivers introduces some more subtle graphics bugs that can cause a game to crash. Everyone should test out if their Nvidia card is now OOTB for Sierra. Maybe the 10xx series has been silently supported.

That would explain why I could OOTB my card. For most part both sets of drivers seem to work but it is somewhat a pick your poison. You want inexplicable crashes or less crashes at lower compatibility. The web drivers does support g sync, don't know if they work.

Not upgrading for another 2 years from my 780ti but this is most welcome news. I expect to be upgrading to an 11/2xxti by then and I might have a 4K monitor that makes use of the added power. Won't be changing CPU/MB as that part of the world isn't exactly setting the world on fire.

I have been a Mac user for a long time but it was getting to the point where it was going to be too expensive to justify getting a new desktop/iMac. But when I found out about Hackintoshs I jumped in and took the risk as the worse that would happen was that it wouldn't work and I would end up with a Windows machine. It hasn't been at a loss for Apple, I got an iPhone because of how usable OSX is and I was rewarded with the same in iOS. I also got an old i5 Macbook Pro that is a good workhorse away from the desktop. One of the big knocks I have with Android is the lack of UI standardisation. One example with each app you never know what the hambuger button contains and it changes depending on where in the app you are. So every time you use someone's else's Android or use a new app you don't know what does what. Back during Boot 1-2-3, the original leak of tech that allowed all this setting up a Hack took a solid day or more and it would be wonky even on a recommend board. Now maybe one or two hours if you had nice compatible motherboard and you run it as if it was a real Mac. Clover is a massive leap that makes this so much easier.

Bluetooth? If you are interested in a dongle that is OOB get a GMYLE Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter. I have two, they are easy to find, small, works great and are pretty cheap. You find them on ebay with free shipping coming out of Hong Kong. I can't speak for anything else though as I have no need for an internal wireless network card or extra ports.
