Hi,
Below are the specs of the system:
- Gigabyte H61M-s
- 16 GB DDR3 RAM
- EVO 860 500 GB (APFS formatted)
- i3-3220
- Zotac GTX 1060 6 GB GDDR5X (currently using HDMI)
- Dual booted with Windows 10 on a different drive
Config.plist and EFI are at the bottom.
I have been struggling with a very specific problem since months ago that I still haven't been able to find a working solution for. Before this, I had my hack running on High Sierra that was installed using the tonymac tools. Recently, I reinstalled the OS using the vanilla guide, and the problem is still there after installing the web driver (which I have done using this guide from Hackintosher). I have also tried different builds of macOS 10.13.6 and their corresponding web driver, and the problem has been the same.
I have the correct version of Nvidia web driver installed for my version of macOS. The installation was smooth and the Nvidia icon shows up in the status bar.
- When the web driver is disabled in clover, the system works, but obviously with tearing animations, stretched screen resolution and no GPU acceleration. The about section shows the graphics as "Display 5MB". Also, the The login screen consists of a plain grey background. Just how it is when you freshly install the OS.
- Now, when the web driver is enabled in clover and the system is booted, after the apple logo, the screen turns off for a second, turns back on with the login screen at correct resolution and blurred HS background (like it is supposed to), then shows the shut down screen, screen turns off for a second, then back to login screen...this goes on and on while the keyboard and mouse are unresponsive. Here's one of the threads I was able to find on similar problem. Below is the video of the screen (YouTube link for the same). The weird part is that this exact thing happens even when the macOS is setup to login automatically.

- When the web driver is enabled along with safe mode in clover, the screen resolution gets fixed and the monitor name is also detected. The about section shows the graphics as "Nvidia Chip Model 6143 MB". But there's still no GPU acceleration and the Nvidia icon is missing from the status bar.
Can anyone please help me out? It has been many months and I am now tired of trying and failing. I have seen so many threads from people with a fully working GTX 1060 on their hacks, yet I am unable to get mine to work. I am guessing it's just an incompatibility problem with my specific version of GTX 1060. But may be it is just a problem on the software side? Maybe it's just a missing kext, or a single line of code needs to be changed in config.plist?
I would be really grateful if anyone is able to help me out with this.
