Hi Guys,
So after about three months of struggling with my 1060-Gaming1 in High Sierra and getting nowhere. Seemed like no one else had the same problem – random log-outs when under load, frozen black screen with white cursor upon wake, Illustrator quitting on my the whole time, and this weird Metal crash log. I gave up and installed an AMD 570 today.
The 1060 worked fine in Sierra, and a 1050 I had worked fine in HS (but I needed two DP for my 4k monitors).
So I think we're looking at the 1060 as a bum card/driver mix. Shame. Onto eBay it goes. and I'll probably need a very good reason to go back to Nividia.
AMD install was easy. Uninstalled Nividia Drivers/Cuda, removed all Nvidia install references in Clover Configurator. Removed NividiaGraphicFixUp.kext, added WhateverGreen.kext (kept Lilu) and ticked RadeonDelnit (whatever that is) in Clover Config, and all fine. Sleep works at last!
I'll keep looking out for driver updates on this issue, but I got burnt by the 1060 and I probably ain't going back.
