Do you still have the lag with .158?
Yes. See here:
So, with 156/157, the lag on my KBL hack (7700K; 1080ti) was far worse and my 2012 rMBP (3820QM; GT 650M) was also affected by lag when using the Web driver, but not the stock driver. Those drivers also seemed to cause sleep issues on both my hack and rMBP.
With 158, the lag on my KBL hack has improved. Sometimes even, when there is no lag, it even feels better than 104. But there is still some lag present, again mostly affecting WindowServer and native Apple applications as well as sometimes video playback. But there is no lag on my 2012 rMBP. So, I'd call it an improvement . . . maybe? But there does still seem to be something specifically affecting SKL+ hacks with Nvidia. Wonder if real SKL+ macs with Nvidia over eGPU are still having issues with 158 . . .
Now if you do "strings" on the GeForceWeb kext, you'll see that there are special processes that are specifically named in the driver, like Finder, WindowServer, loginwindow, Safari, etc. So, the driver is doing something special for them, but I don't understand what yet . . . I wonder if this is actually what is broken on SKL+ . . .
