Succesfull Install of Sierra (10.12.6) on Acer Predator G9-793 Laptop

Screenshot

I posted a week or so looking for help in setting up Sierra on this laptop, I've had more success today with a fresh install.

Things still broken

  • G-Sync
  • Using another display with HDMI (nVidia settings list notebook G-Sync display as plugged in with Display Port)
  • Wi-Fi (Haven't tried yet)
  • Internal speakers (No audio devices detected unless using a USB device
  • Internal Sata / NVMe Drives (Currently running OS X off of an external USB 3 Seagate Slim Backup Plus 2Tb)
  • Microphone
  • Webcam
  • Battery charge %

Pretty much everything else works, the track pad and keyboard both work with the standard VoodooPS2 kext from Tonymacx86. I found a kext called Lilu & nVidiaGraphicsFixUp that allowed me to use the GTX 1070 with full graphics acceleration, except that the amount of vram doesn't report right. iMessage works flawlessly, system profile is MacBook Pro 14,3.

If any else has any ideas for the things still not working then that would be great but otherwise I'd be happy to help anyone else with a similar machine as I figure things out.

I haven't tried the lid open and close actions but sleep and wake work fine
