Laggy Windows/UI after updating to High Sierra 10.13.3 with nVidia card

[RapidLightning]

So I now found out, that the laggy UI is only on my Monitor witch is using the HDMI cable, not on my Monitor with Display Port cable, both 4K. Is that a thing?

I have El Capitan and High Sierra installed on a different SSD. I try each of them alternately on the same hardware (i5 CPU, H170N-WiFi motherboard, 8GB RAM, Palit Nvidia GTX750 videocard). I can clearly tell High Sierra is more sluggish than El Capitan. For example, in High Sierra, I open Safari then I press Cmd+Q to quit it, and it takes approx. 1 second to quit Safari. On El Capitan, it quits immediately. When I watch Youtube videos on High Sierra, it may stutter (skip frames) occasionally, but on El Capitan, YouTube is perfect.

I will try the Nvidia-Update script. Hope it will resolve the issue.

I have a same issue on my Deskmini GTX (GTX1060) since 10.13.3.
When try Nvidia-update script on 10.13.4, it downgrade driver from:

384.10.10.10.30.103
to
384.10.10.10.25.106

but it just solved laggy problem (especially Chrome) after reboot.

I had a similar issue with my 1050ti and I managed to solve this problem installing the web drivers using the Benjamin Dovell's script, you can download it above following the procedure:

This worked for me! Thank you!

Hi,
maybe someone will be able to help me with this.

I installed High Sierra (clean install) 10.13.4 and then latest (30.103) nvidia drivers. It works kind of fine, but I felt it's a bit laggy sometimes, so I wanted to try that script as well. But after it installed 25.106 (in fact if when I installed any other version except latest one), my GTX960 is not "recognized" in About This Mac I see "Display 5 MB" and resolution is small, glitching etc.

It's my first hackintosh and I hope someone will be able to help me, otherwise everything seem fine so far.

Open your config.plist and go to System Parameters, make sure the the box for NvidiaWeb is ticked off, save your config.plist and reboot.

It is ticked off (attached config.plist), I checked that before, tried to rebuild cache as well, which I found somewhere else (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...vidia-web-drivers.244987/page-26#post-1725173).

If I update back to latest drivers again, it works fine without changing anything, but any other older versions don't

Then I would suggest downloading the latest Lilu and Nvidiagraphicsfixup kexts and see if those help.

 

[boobiq]

Tried that as well (Lilu 1.2.3 and NvidiaGraphicsFixup 1.2.5), sorry for not mentioning what I tried already. I copied them to /Library/Extensions directory, since that's where I found previous versions, I hope it's correct place.

I even tried that "Webdriver All Versions" app I found in some other thread with same result.
