GTX 660 glitch issue with MacOS High Sierra 10.13

[Jamesbond007]

I have the GTX 650 Ti (not boost) working in high Sierra without any problem, no glitches, no Tetris.

Oh really? Thank you for your information. Then apparently not all Kepler cards have this problem.

I have GTX 650 Ti BOOST (2gb version) and I have glitches and artifacts on 10.13.1.

Could you please attach your config.plist if you don't mind? I want to take a look at it.

Please do a simple test:... start Youtube in browser and watch any video in normal view, them expand to full screen view, do several times expand normal to full screen and see if in full mode screen the glithes appear... in my system the glitches come on when I do this... then after a while it disapear and then came back again ... but if I don´t watch any video in ex: youtube, the system are normal and smooth... for me the glitches come when I watch videos... or if I use Final Cut Pro X, please tell us yours experiences. B. Regards

Watched several Youtube videos in Safari using the GTX 650 Ti-- resizing videos etc. No sign of issues. When I had the GTX 660 installed the glitches started right away after booting- no need to work at making them happen. Note that this is on my Z97M mobo machine. Attached config.plist if it helps at all...

I have also tested Youtube videos in Safari using the GTX 650 Ti resizing videos and no issues.

Glad to have found this thread dedicated mostly towards the 660. I've updated to 10.13.2 Developer Beta 3 and the problem remains. I hope Apple is looking into a fix...

For those of you who own the RX 560 (XFX-AMD Radeon or PowerColor Red Dragon), can you tell me if your Mac boots up with the Apple logo? Thx.

I have replaced GTX660 with RX580 (PowerColor Red Devil), and it boots up as swiftly and smoothly as usual. To make RX580 work, I have modified Clover like below:

1. Delete the CSM Video driver CsmVideoDxe-64.efi from the Clover / drivers64UEFI folder, and set Configuration / Graphics / PatchVBios to False.

2. Put the latest modified APFS.efi in the Clover / drivers64UEFI folder. This APFS.efi is patched binarily to avoid showing error massages, thus to avoid breaking the graphical boot process with abruptive text mode error massage screens.

3. Put latest Lilu and WhateverGreen in the Clover / kexts / 10.13 folder.

4. Patch the AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext as Pike had suggested:

Kext: AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy
Find: <626f6172 642d6964>
Replace: <626f6172 642d6978>

(c)Pike R. Alpha

5. Inject power management policies in the AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext with Clover.

Thanks for the info, leonhong. Really appreciate it... So regardless of the Mac one would own, the RX580 or even the 560 will also work, correct? Also, assuming Apple fixes the graphics bug with the 660, will the modified info work as well?
