After many previous issues, I ended up with a fresh new install of HighSierra (download does the store and created the install with unibeast). I had it up and running when this update came and went so easy that I am still wondering what could be wrong!! even the sound worked! crazy smooth just long install.... (I did have fakeSMC.kext on the EFI drive)

Successfully updated from 10.13.2 from App Store:

1. Could not update video driver from the Nvidia panel, so had to install it separately.
2. After reboot, stuck on Apple logo.
3. After forced reboot, booted normally. No lag observed.
4. I immediately noticed a dramatic improvement in display scaling. I was considered getting a 4K monitor but the sharpness on my Lenovo L24Q-20 (2K) has improved so dramatically that I am staying with it.

Did anyone else notice the dramatic screen scaling improvement with this update? On a 2K monitor, scaled back to 2048 x 1152, the screen has almost Retina quality.

Updated to 10.13.3, and installed the latest NVIDIA graphics driver (387.10.10.10.25.156). The result is a lag in window drawing, especially noticeable in Safari. I reverted to the previous NVIDIA driver (378.10.10.10.104) and cheated the build number to be able to use it (method to use older drivers).

That sounds that it can work, but when I change build number it says the same message in nVIDIA installer...

…no lag but now I get repeated system freezes. Preferred the lag, actually. Waiting for a fix in NVIDIA web driver.

I'm using 17,1 system definition. The Release Notes actually say that the driver update is for Mac Pro 5,1 and 4,1 and 3,1. BETA support is for iMac 14,2 / 14,3, iMac 13,1 / 13,2 (2012) and MacBook Pro 11,3 (2013), MacBook Pro 10,1 (2012), and MacBook Pro 9,1 (2012) users.
