If you have problems boating with Boot Camp , Windows on your Macintosh maybe you need to fix your master boot record :


EasyBCD might help you

I never install windows with Bootcamp windows does not need bootcamp as long as windows I a 64bit version, it will install on the drive directly. the problem I am having is with the drive itself, that does not want to format properly since it was previously APFS formatted. I very mambo jambo problem ... something that should take 15 min turns into hours ... disgusting ...

Open terminal and find the drive you want to format:
Code:
diskutil list
Unmount the disk you want to format, change diskXX to the correct one:
Code:
diskutil unmountdisk diskXX
Destroy the GPT:
Code:
sudo gpt destroy diskXX

Done, now you have an un-formatted drive.

Post it here or upload to TechPowerUp. We are really interested in the drivers -b and the system profiler (since that have some personal info, you can PM me or @LightBulbFun).

Sent you a PM.
[doublepost=1540252586][/doublepost]It's 99.99999999% identical as the TechPowerUp RTX2080, just some bytes differ.

What app are you using to compare the binary files? Love how it even takes into consideration offsets/inserts.
Hexfiend 2.9, I love it.

Bion1nc sent you PM? what's interesting?
He is doing the drivers -b and the full System Profiler. He did the first page of the drivers -b, but it's not there.

I understand correctly, in the report there is a UGA Console Driver, does this mean that we have BootScreen?
UGA Console Driver is from the Mac BootROM. The Nvidia EFI driver is shown in the second image. The card have boot selector/picker, now we need to see if has support for single mode/verbose.

thanks @tsialex and @Bion1nc for the screen shots :)

its very interesting

especially as the Loaded driver is "nvgop-tu1xx" TU being Turing, 1xx being the GPU series, but GOP is Graphics Output protocol, being a MP5,1 I would of expected to have seen UGA not GOP, so I wonder whats going on there

its all very interesting and intriguing :) (I wonder if we will be able to extract bits from the RTXs ROM image and apply/load it against other cards?)
