GTX 660 glitch issue with MacOS High Sierra 10.13

[menelkir]

Anyone tried NVDAResman.kext? I see some people having success with GT610.

It will never get fixed unless someone with a mac pro with this card opens a ticket. It's been ongoing since HS betas and was never fixed there.

While the RX series work good now, who knows, they might start artifacting in 10.17 or something. Apple seems to struggle in the graphics department a lot (iphone4/ipad3/6+ underpowered GPUs, 15 inch macbook dGPU issues, etc)

I do have a Mac Pro and sent multiple tickets and got no response. Apple has no interest in fixing the issue with the 660 or any other card affected.

Did you tried open a ticket with nvidia?

I did not. I'm not using the NVIDIA web driver and don't want to either. On a Mac Pro and Sierra, the 660 was plug and play and I never had any issues. When I tried it with High Sierra, it was a mess.

Btw, I don't think NVIDIA will or CAN fix this problem. They would have by now if they could.

Perhaps nvidia could pay more attention about this issue and, at least, fix it (if someone with a real mac was able to report it).

I'm sure I'm not the only one with a real Mac who's been plagued with the graphics bug and others probably reported it to NVIDIA. That being said, do you have a link to where I could report it? Might as well give it a "last" go before purchasing another card. Thx.

That's probably the case. Even the Macbook pros 2012 and 2013 with nvidia don't apparently perform as well in high sierra.

Even so IF apple doesn't care about those scenarios, perhaps nvidia would fix this issues.
