NVIDIA Releases Alternate Graphics Drivers for macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 (387.10.10.10.30)

[hennessyevan]

I updated to the latest 387.10.10.10.30 drivers with nvidia-update and then replaced NvidiaGraphicsFixup in Clover/EFI with the compiled version 1.2.5 from @feartech above.

I can confirm that NvidiaGraphicsFixup 1.2.5 has my system feeling good again. Window resizing is good, chrome is back to full hardware acceleration, electron apps that I've tested (VSCode, Slack, Boxy) are smooth. WindowServer sits around 2-5% CPU usage which seems reasonable compared to the spikes I was getting before.

As you can see in my description I'm running an ASUS Z270 Prime-A and a GTX960 on macOS 10.13.4, have only been running this way for about an hour but it seems good.

I only have Lilu v1.2.2 I'm not sure if 1.2.4 would make a difference?

Would you be so kind as to upload your versions of Lilu (1.2.2) and NvidiaGraphicsFixup (1.2.5) Kexts? I and many others would thank you for doing this.....

These are the most recent ones, I compiled NvidiaGraphicsFixup just a few minutes ago ant Lilu yesterday.
And I can confirm that the lag is gone now and even better, all the other problems like x-plane taking forever to quit are gone!
The files are version 1.2.5 NvidiaGrapicsFixup and 1.2.3 Lilu.

Bravo! Thank you! Can I ask, are you using an older version of the Nvidia driver or the most current one?

Just my opinion: EFI/CLOVER/kexts/other.....That's where I put them, and it's worked well for me.....

Just my opinion: EFI/CLOVER/KEXT/.../other

Would these also nest in S/L/E and L/E using K.W. or other kext installers?
