High Sierra - Graphic Lag with 1080

[viperouge]

Hey guys,

Since when I updated to High Sierra (I updated as soon as it was released), I have been experiencing some lag (moving windows, browsing, minimizing windows) even when I only have Mail, Safari and Chrome open.

Very rarely I also see some graphic artifacts, which go away after a minute or so...

I have an EVGA GTX1080, the WebDriver are installed correctly and I should have graphic acceleration (I see UI transparency)

Kexts I currently have: AppleIntelE1000e, FakePCIID_Intel_HDMI_Audio, FakePCIID, FakeSMC_CPUSensors, FakeSMC, Lilu (latest), NvidiaGraphicsFixup

It is pretty annoying as this hackintosh is pretty new so I believe should have zero lag at all.

What could be wrong?

Yep this is a known issue and its a High Sierra bug.

Apple moved to Metal 2 for WindowServer and made a lot of changes under the hood. There's a few posts here about that. This issue also happens on real Macs that stilll use nVidia GPUs.

There's some type of memory leak. I hope it's fixed soon.

10.12.6 Sierra worked perfectly fine for me. I might get pissed and go back to that.

Interesting.. Do you happen to have a link to those posts?

Lets hope they fix this soon because it is annoying AF.

same here. graphics lag was so bad mac was nearly unusable with high sierra, had to downgrade back to sierra.

Nobody ever uploads any logs or any other kind of information on these threads.

I have been experiencing some lag (moving windows

log stream --info --predicate "process contains 'WindowServer'"

browsing

log stream --info --predicate "process contains 'Safari'"

Hi guys,

I have same problem and bug on high Sierra 10.13.3 with Asus GTX 670
When I open safari, chrome or firefox, I have strong slowdowns, and the other windows of the finder also.
When I start with the intel HD 630 graphics card built into my intel core i7 7700, everything is fluid and there is no such latency. I thought it was my gtx 670 that was not compatible with high sierra.
What is the solution to solve this problem?

Hi,
Finaly, I ended up returning to Sierra 10.12.6 and there everything is fluid again, fast, no latency. I wonder how did the people who installed high Sierra and who have no bug?

Experiencing the same thing. very frustrating.

So is there any solution ?

When I just close a Safari tab, it lags (among many other places of course) - Here's my logs surrounding the action:

There seems to be a 1.5-2.0s delay that occurs between "purging tab snapshots" and the resulting "Removed Application"...
