I'm telling you. I'm just not seeing any of the lag you keep talking about. I typically leave my main system up for weeks at a time between reboots. The only times I reboot are to test something and/or if some software install requires it.

@thenephilim also reports this issue as well as other forums and users.
I've been using computers since the early 90s, every single day. Macs and PCs. I'm not some new user who just found out about computers :\
You are probably not pushing your machine with every day apps like Adobe stuff to be truly frustrated with nVidia GPUs.
I am about to pick up an RX560 4GB and going to slap that in the system for now until things are better or Vega 64 is more affordable. Will report back of the results in this thread compared to the 980Ti's which I took out. I'm running iGPU now and it's perfect, but I can't get the second monitor to work which is slowing me down with work.
I reverted my MacBook Pro 2014 (750m) to Sierra and it's working flawlessly in terms of Photoshop, Lightroom, etc.
I use 2 monitors:
1: 27" Apple Cinema Display 2560x1440
2: 23" Apple Display 1920x1200 (older model)
The only reason I'm still on macOS is because of the superior UI for design and post production. I can never go to Windows and I'm willing to go through all this trouble just to make this thing work. I'm praying 2018 Mac Pro (big if!) has nVidia and AMD support with PCIe slots. I really need CUDA for certain 3d applications like Octane and Premiere Pro works better with CUDA.
Sierra was perfect for me, but I started developing in VR a bit and need Steam in High Sierra so going back to Sierra is not really a great option at this time, although I have a 2nd SSD I can boot into Sierra any time.
Apple has added eGPU support so they now must be friendly with nVidia...
