Installing Hackintosh on an ASUS P8Z77-V DELUXE with an NVIDIA GTX 970

Step 1: Creating a bootable USB stick
Create a USB installer using Unibeast, the tutorial at Tonymaxc86 should do the trick. Follow steps 1, 2 and 3.

Step 2: Modify the setup using Multibeast
Download Multibeast from Tonymacx86 and use the following config:

Customize > Themes > tonymacx86 Black[/xml]

Note that you should install this on the USB stick, not your own mac/hackintosh.

Step 3: Installing OS X on your disk
Install using the USB boot disk with the boot flag: -x nv_disable=1. Beyond that you can simply use step 4 of the tutorial at tonymacx86.

Step 4: Installing the NVIDIA web driver
Since we don’t have proper drivers yet, every boot of OS X up to this point has to be done using the nv_disable=1 boot flag which gives you a 1-2 fps performance… not too ideal.

So we are going to install the NVIDIA web driver now (for the current version, google “nvidia os x “, for my version it’s “nvidia os x 10.10.2”, you can find your version in “About This Mac”), in the case of Yosemite 10.10.2 the driver can be downloaded here: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/81365/en-us

After installing this, don’t reboot yet!

Step 5: Finalizing the install. Multibeast again
Now it’s time to run Multibeast again, this is effectively the same as Step 2 of this tutorial. Only now it will be on the live version instead of the USB disk. After doing this most of your hardware should work without a problem.

To enable the NVIDIA driver and all of the new Multibeast kexts we need to modify the file /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist, here’s how my current one looks:

< !DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

That’s it, now reboot and you should have a fully functioning system. I even have effortless multi-monitor (dual-monitor currently) support 🙂
