GPU is being passed through, but not being used by MacOS?

[nmcain]

I have a GT710, that is recognized by High Sierra, but the system is not accelerating with it. I have installed the Web Driver and even enabled NVIDIA in Clover, but the Display 3MB is the only card being used. Is there any way to remove that display card? What is going on?

Heres my current configuration, (headless mode)

}

[[ -z "$SYSTEM_DISK" ]] && {
    echo "Please set the SYSTEM_DISK environment variable"
    exit 1
}

[[ -r "$SYSTEM_DISK" ]] || {
    echo "Can't read system disk image: $SYSTEM_DISK"
    exit 1
}

Is the 710 even supported still in High Sierra? That card is pretty old

[nmcain]

According to various sources, the 710 is supported even under Big Sur for some reason

I also have a gt 710 waiting for your update then I will proceed

@Masamune3210 Kepler-based cards (like the GT 710) are supported up to macOS Monterey beta 6.

@nmcain Web drivers are only needed for Pascal and Maxwell cards, Kepler cards should work out of the box, try uninstalling them.
