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

I'm another happy camper with the latest NvidiagraphicsFixup and lilu working great. I'm able to play iTunes movies as well. Been a long time since I've been able to do that!

i can confirm that with the latest driver, NvidiaGraphicsFixUp and lilu, the UI lag is completely gone. But i also have seen the random glitches/corruptions mentioned by many ppl here. I have CUDA installed, but the glitch could happen any time no matter what apps are being used. sometimes it could happen even when using slack.

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

FYI.
I ask directly on github and its possible - https://github.com/lvs1974/NvidiaGraphicsFixup/issues/13

Working Perfectly.

Hey all,
Glad to hear there are fixes for the lag issues, I had reverted to 10.13.2 with 106 nvidia drivers since updating and getting the lag issues.
I had also logged an issue with nVidia on the lag and after a bunch of back and forth with their support person, eventually it got escalated to the engineering team and I got this response:
"Thanks for the details. I've discussed this with our development team and we are aware of this performance issue and currently investigating. We've been able to confirm the issue in our lab as well as reports of color corruption. Our development team is actively investigating both issues and we hope to provide a fix in a future driver update. Thanks again for bring these issues to our attention."
They also did mention that they have seen the reports in these forums. So maybe they do care about the hackintosh community after all

Hey!

I still got the lag issue with the latest drivers and the latest `NvidiagraphicsFixup` that is supposed to fix this issue, BUT after enabling SIP completely Im getting a butter smooth experience! 3440x1400 at 100hz with my monitor. I thought I should share this. It would be interesting is someone else can confirm.

I am using latest Nvidia drivers, latest lilu kext and nvidia fixup kext with my 980 ti on fresh 10.13.4 installation and things are well until the screensaver kicks in or the system turns off the displays because of idle time. When I log in after that, the system is extremely laggy when it comes to graphics - even windows dragging looks like 1fps. Any ideas?

Another separate issue is that the system is unable to survive a night of sleep - every morning I find it with one monitor turned off, one turned on but displaying black and full speed fans on GPU (I think), not reacting to mouse, keyboard - only reset and normal boot fixes it. Testing sleep/wake on short periods works fine, the machine wakes up just fine. Again, any ideas?

Running perfectly with latest Nvidiagraphicscleanup + Lilu with latest NVIDIA drivers. Google Chrome finally working without any hacks.

My thanks to the community that makes this possible.

System has been up and running for a couple of days. And thank you to everyone for your input, advice and support. I was nervous about implementing the changes (thought I would break something). However, things are looking well. There are a few hiccups, but overall things are working well:

Using latest NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext and Lilu.kext
SYMBIOS: iMac 17,1
Nvidia 1060 6gb
i7 6700
Gigabyte z170X-UD3
Nvidia Driver version: 387.10.10.10.25.61 (says Up to date)
CUDA Driver version: 387.178
(I've attached my config.plist and "Other" kexts folder

FCPX seems to be running pretty well. Other videos look great.

The few issues I have are during boot up or wake from sleep, the screen flashes several times (in 5 second intervals ) for about 20-30 seconds before I'm able to enter my login info. And once in a while, my wireless kb and Magic Mouse aren't able to be connected. So I have to use a wired one, and re-pair the BT mouse and kb. Other than that though, things are running very well.

I've seen a few bench mark tests I'd like to try as well. Any recommendations? (I'm not able to find that water test or know what test to use for Google Chrome).

Thanks again...

Rodney

I can confirm that the new releases of the kexts work well, with one major exception: chromium/electron/chrome, which are impossibly slow on my system, forcing me to use `--disable-gpu` for those apps. If anyone has any info (or, even better, a remedy) for this, please share.
