NVIDIA Releases Alternate Graphics Drivers for macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 (387.10.10.10.30)

[kecinzer]

Stop all the compiling! The new kexts have been released.
https://github.com/lvs1974/NvidiaGraphicsFixup/releases
https://github.com/vit9696/Lilu/releases

EDIT: That's weird, looks like NvidiaGraphicsFixup v1.2.5 was only up briefly before being taken down? ...or I need to get my eyes checked.

May I use this kext on Apple HW? I have MacBook Pro 15" 2014 with GeForce 750M and I have problems since High Sierra with poor GeForce performance. I tried load this kext from /System/Library/Extensions, but:

/System/Library/Extensions/NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) dependency load failed; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8).

EDIT:
Sorry, I just downloaded Lilu kext as well and now it working!

EDIT 2:
OMFG!!!
I loaded Lilu.kext, NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext, restart system and now GeForce is finaly fast as it was on macOS 10.12.6!! This is unbelievable! Thank you so much. I spent ten of hours with Apple support to get this fixed without luck!

With all the latest drivers, my system (GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4095 MB) was never so smooth. All the lags and hiccups are gone. Davinci Resolve is no problem, with CUDA.
But, start Adobe Indesign with GPU acceleration and the whole system becomes unusable. There are black, gray and white triangles all over the place, even in the finder. Tried to uninstall CUDA, but that doesn't change anything.

Update: the triangles are gone, but all the Adobe applications crashes 50% of the time.

slightly related question - do you really need CUDA for Photoshop or InDesign?

Ok so I updated to 10.13.4 and now I’m back to gIOScreenLockState

I have latest nvidiagraphicfixup and lilu.

Nvdisable=1 isn’t working.

Uncheckung nvdastartupweb doesn’t disable any more

It shows a NVDAStartupWeb: Official (forced)

Usually when it happened I could just do nvdisbale and get back in but now I’m stuck.

Any ideas??

This is GTX1080 on x299.

Was all working before update.

Nvdisable=1 isn’t working.

Unsurprising - Try nv_disable=1 instead.

Im such a tool! thanks.

all working now and soooo much better. no glitching in the GL water etc. thing and everything just looks crisper on my 4k display (or maybe thats my imagination).

No, I don't think so. Davinci Resolve 14 won't start up without CUDA. Davinci Resolve 15 (now in Beta) uses Metal.

As I said, There is no change in the crashing rate with or without CUDA installed. The Adobe programs crashes only when there is a file opened, and it happens (until now) when I switch to the finder, or another app.

Has anyone got their display port outputs working?

I have to wait until after boot to plug mine in.. any solutions to this yet?

I just noticed, that GeForce works better, but now my MacBook wont switch to integrated graphics anymore. It displays GPU dedendency "displaypolicyd 94".
Its possible to make graphics switchable with these kexts?

It's unlikely because switchable graphics are really supported on non-Apple hardware which is the target audience for these types of kexts.
