Black Screen After Updating to 10.12.5

[Boead]

Hm, I've contacted Nvidia support (I have problems with webdriver & EVGA GTX 970), and they said that:

>> The webdrivers are not officially released by NVIDIA.
>> The webdrivers would developed / written by Apple or third parties. We will not be able to comment on the functionality of these drivers as it is not officially provided by us.

What do you guys think, does it make sense at all to contact Nvidia support for bug reporting?

I have Giga 970 and having issues I didn't expect. Distorted icons in Safari. The last drive with 10.12.3 looked much better.

My issue is related to performance — framedrops in games and UI lags on 4K display. And, as a "bonus" — rare on-screen UI artifacts.

Let's pray nVidia doesn't stop supporting at least Maxwell in 12.13, which comes out later this year

FWIW I have a 980 Ti and dual 4K screens and don't have any issue on 10.12.4.

Not with my system (GTX 750Ti), it doesn't. Bummer.

Everyone awaits for pascal drivers support, I wait for RX480 native support

For me something fixed the iBook/xCode graphics artifacts. I changed a lot of thing at once, not sure which was the key to solve the problem..

After the 10.12.4 update I installed the new nVidia and Cuda drivers, and changed the system definition from iMac 14,1 to iMac 14,2 because I saw it's the recommended system definition for a Hackintosh with both Intel and nVidia graphics. Also added this Azul patch to my config.plist (KextsToPatch section):

And also this patch for the random freezes while browsing in Safari:

            </dict>

I use HDMI cable over the 750Ti to my monitor. In BIOS I set PCIE (nVidia grapgics) to my primary graphics output. For bootloader i use Clover_v2.4k_r4035 - i don't know if it matters or not.
