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

[pastrychef]

it's hidden in the Finder.

sudo chflags nohidden /Library

or in Finder, Shift+Command+G, enter


Yes your FakeSMC is probably in the cache, installed in /Library/Extensions

Pressing [Command] + [Shift] + [.] in Finder will also show all invisible files/folders.

[.] = Period

i had already pressed [Command] + [Shift] + [.] (at least i knew that )but i was looking in /users/myusersname/Library ....
So finally i found it with finder>go to folder and everything is in there ...
thus the EDIT.
so no magic. just nooobinesss

miles99, here are my results to OctaneBench 3.06.2:View attachment 328947
Let me be clear, on 10.13.4 Security Update and iMac,15, I am using the latest NVIDIA CUDA driver available 387.178:

CUDA Mac Driver
Latest Version: CUDA 387.178 driver for MAC
Release Date: 04/02/2018
The URL for the CUDA driver archive where you can always find the latest driver: http://www.nvidia.com/object/mac-driver-archive.html

I am not using the developer CUDA Toolkit 9.1.128, as you apparently are. Here are the contents of that downloaded .dmg file:

My driver was released 4/02/2018 and yours was released no later than 12/20/17, at least if you're using the driver from this toolkit.

Though you may have a good reason, I'm not sure why you're using the 9.1 CUDA Toolkit or macOS Sierra 10.12.3 rather than 10.12.6. With 10.12.6 even, you would have a different NVIDIA web driver and presumably an updated CUDA driver to match.

I really believe that if you want to try to use 10.13.4 or above, and are currently trying to use the CUDA toolkit with its driver, then you should uninstall the CUDA Toolkit using AppDelete or any of the proper uninstallers and then install the CUDA 387.178 driver for Mac (and the 30.107 web driver before that if you haven't). I would install both using the downloads directly from NVIDIA (rather than a bash script) so that you have the preference panes installed. And pay attention to whether you have SIP enabled or not, and try it differently if it doesn't work right after the install, as noted by vulgo in #560 and #563.

TNX, for the advice. I was not able to upgrade directly to High Sierra no matter what. Whenever the upgrade worked the NVIDIA driver did but CUDA did not.

I did a clean install of High Sierra today, applied the security update and installed the latest web driver and CUDA. It works. Including Octane. However, Open GL is still at a crawl. This is most noticeable in C4D when creating primitives. Takes a bit for them to appear while this was instantaneously under Sierra.

Edit: I pulled one of the 980Tis and without changing anything else CUDA is working. Looks like CUDA needs some work.

2. In System/Library/Extension there are no other hackintosh kexts and no FakeSMC.kext !!

`FakeSMC` must still be somewhere otherwise you won't even able to boot your Hackintosh, it's a mandatory kext.

Hey all,

I'm in the two card group with two 1080 Ti's.... with both cards installed.. OpenGL is busted. So I just ran nvidia-update to reinstall .25.106. But for some reason the driver doesn't actually seem to load after reboot.... Am I missing something? Thanks guys!

***EDIT - Never mind. Disabled SIP and reinstalled using script made it work... back to imperfect driver.... but better than no OpenGL... poop

Does anyone using two 10xx cards have it working with newest driver and 10.13.4?

Are you saying that 25.106 works with two cards and CUDA 9.1? If so, which problems do you have to live with?

High Sierra upgrade nightmare

Until last Friday, I used the latest Sierra and I thought, the High Sierra maybe enough stable for me and I started the upgrade to 10.13.4.

1. The BIOS settings not changed, works same as earlier (Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD5H F10e latest BIOS)

2. I tried the clean install method. I downloaded the latest Install macOS High Sierra.app (10.13.4 Installer), the latest UniBeast.app (8.3.1) and I created the USB UEFI boot mode(16GB).

3. The USB boot and the installation went properly.

4. After the first High Sierra boot I solved the iTunes 12.7.4 and Security Update 2008-001 install and rebooted the High Sierra.

5. High Sierra loaded. The base system install is done and next I installed the Multibeast (10.2.0) with following properties:

MultiBeast Configuration:
Quick Start > Clover UEFI Boot Mode
Drivers > Audio > Realtek ALCxxx > ALC898
Drivers > Disk > Intel Generic AHCI SATA
Drivers > Misc > FakeSMC
Drivers > Misc > NullCPUPowerManagement
Drivers > Network > Intel > AppleIntelE1000e v3.3.6
Drivers > USB > 7/8/9 Series USB Support
Bootloaders > Clover UEFI Boot Mode
Customize > System Definitions > iMac > iMac 14,2

The system works properly, until I try to install Nvidia driver (NVIDIA Alternate Graphics Drivers for macOS 10.13.4 (17E202))
After many reinstall and thousends of reboot, I didn't solved the problem.
How can I install properly the latest Nvidia driver for the High Sierra 10.13.4 (17E202)?

What did I forget?
Please, help me, I'm lost...

Did you use this in Multibeast?

Thanks, yes I tried it unfortunately with no results.
