Drivers

Nvidia MacOS Driver Installer automatically tries to install the correct version of web-driver aka Nvidia Alternative Driver for your macOS.

You should configure Clover or Chameleon to make Nvidia web driver to function correctly in Hackintosh/Macintosh. This step is not necessary for any Genuine Macs. This installer can be used in Macintosh & Hackintosh, doesn't do any harm.

Features:

  • Auto-Install Nvidia alternative-drivers
  • Copy Correct Webdriver Package to Desktop

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

● The Installer may requires System Preferences to be launched during the installation process. Do not manually close System Preferences until after clicking Allow in the Security & Privacy Preferences, later in the process.

● The Installer requires rebooting the system after the installation process. Do not launch any other applications until the process is complete and the system is rebooted.

This software package contains:

● A driver designed for your NVIDIA graphics card.

● A preference pane in System Preferences that includes options to:

  1. Switch between the NVIDIA Web Graphics Driver or Default macOS Graphics Driver.
  2. Enable Error Correcting Codes (ECC) on supported graphics cards.
  3. Automatically check for NVIDIA software updates for your graphics card.
  4. Manage Developer options for the Graphics Driver.

● An optional menu bar item that provides easy access to the most common preferences.

If, for any reason, you are unable to boot your system to the desktop and wish to restore your original drivers, you can do so by clearing your Mac’s NVRAM. To clear NVRAM, power on your Mac and hold down Command (⌘), Option, P, and R simultaneously before the gray screen appears. Keep the keys held down until you hear the startup chime for the second time. The system will now boot with the original drivers restored.

This may also reset some of the options you have selected in the NVIDIA Driver Manager. If you clear your Mac’s NVRAM, it is recommended that you open the NVIDIA Driver Manager and review your settings after your system has rebooted.

Nvidia Mac driver is an additional macOS driver provided by Nvidia itself instead of Apple. Apple packs macOS with its own GPU Kexts, but when Nvidia web driver is installed, Apple’s native GPU Kexts becomes inactive.

Troubleshooting

Monitor goes to sleep at the end of the boot sequence when using iMac15,1 or iMac17,1 or MacPro 6,1 system definition

Fix: modify the AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext as pointed out by PikeRAlpha here. We have two options, using Clover’s built-in kext patching (preferred) or manually editing the kext. Using Clover to patch the kext on the fly is preferred because it does not get overwritten after each OS X update. If you do it manually, you will have to make the edits after each update.


Method 1: The easy method

Install these two kext Lilu.kext and WhateverGreen.kext into your Library/Extensions folder.

Method 2:

Use Shilohh’s AGDPfix

Method 3:

NOTE: This method does not work with macOS Sierra 10.12, please use method 1 or 2 above.

  1. Open your Clover config.plist using text edit and scroll till you see <key>KernelAndKextPatches</key>
  2. In that section you have to add the following:
  3. Save your config, and now your kext will be patched when you boot by changing board-id to board-ix.


Method 4:

  1. Open Terminal
  2. Enter this command (it is one line)
  3. Arrow down to where you see <key>ConfigMap</key>
  4. For the iMac15,1 locate the board-id “Mac-42FD25EABCABB274” and change string below it from “Config2” to “none”. For the MacPro6,1 you will do the same thing but for the board-id “Mac-F60DEB81FF30ACF6”. For the iMac17,1 you will have to see which board-id is declared in your config.plist SMBIOS: “Mac-B809C3757DA9BB8D” or “Mac-65CE76090165799A” or “Mac-DB15BD556843C820” and change the appropriate entry to “none”.
  5. Save the file by pressing Ctrl+O, then enter.
  6. Exit by pressing Ctrl+X
  7. Rebuild the kernel cache using the following two commands in Terminal:
  8. Reboot
