Troubleshooting and Optimizations

Before You Begin

1. Register here at tonymacx86! If you don't have a user account,


create one!
2. Get our latest UniBeast and MultiBeast tools from the
downloads section.
3. Purchase a 16GB or larger USB drive.
4. Do a full backup of your system. We strongly recommend
performing a full backup of your existing system using Carbon Copy
Cloner. By doing this, you can always go back to your working
installation.

UniBeast is a tool that creates a bootable installer out of your


downloaded version of macOS. In order to start fresh, you'll need
access to a functional computer running OS X Lion 10.7.5 or later.
This is a requirement, as you need access to the Mac App Store to
download macOS and create the installation drive. To start from
scratch, booting the 10.6 Snow Leopard Retail DVD directly, check
out iBoot + MultiBeast.

Existing Clover users may do a direct update to macOS Mojave by


simply running the Install macOS Mojave app as normal Mac users
would. Follow these steps: Update Directly to macOS Mojave.

macOS Native CPU/IGPU Power Management

This list will be updated.

Alternate NVIDIA Graphics Drivers


NVIDIA releases alternate graphics drivers separately on the web
for each build of macOS. These are different from the drivers Apple
ships as standard, and should be considered experimental. In the
past, the drivers have been known to solve OpenCL issues with
certain applications, as well as providing better native GPU power
management for certain devices. These drivers are currently the
only method to get full acceleration for GeForce GTX 1050, 1050
Ti, 1060, 1070, 1070 Ti, 1080, 1080 Ti, TITAN Pascal, and TITAN
Xp 'Pascal' graphics cards and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750, 750 Ti,
950, 960, 970, 980, 980 Ti, and TITAN X 'Maxwell' graphics cards.
There are no current Macs with these cards, so support is absent
natively in macOS.

Note: Alternate NVIDIA Graphics Drivers are not available yet-


if you have a Maxwell or Pascal based NVIDIA card, stay on
High Sierra for now.
