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

[vulgo]

It runs way smoother than it did on 10.12.

Yes i haven't experienced lag on any version of 10.13 except when installing old drivers (obviously not the same as the well-reported system-crippling issues). 10.13 in general is a noticeable improvement, most likely due to improvements in Metal.

Try using BD's method to install .106 drivers, those are the best I've used so far.

Big thanks but still the same problem. I think it's related to my GPU 660 version. Someone has this card and 10.13.4?

Damn. Unfortunately same issue for me with this new driver–broken OpenGL with dual video cards
...going back to patched *25.106

I have the strangest issue. updated to 10.13.4 running patched 25.106 and as of two days ago I'm getting this blank screen and graphical glitch. Has anyone else experienced it?

I found that my problem occurs only when I run Safari, even if I kill it later. I need to run os without automatically start of it. It works in the same way with 378.10.10.10.25.106 and 387.10.10.10.30.106. I know, it's sound rediculous but it seems to work.
Anyway thanks everyone for help!

I've found NvidiaGraphicsFixup 1.2.5 works better than 1.2.6. NvidiaGraphicsFixup 1.2.6 often gives me broken graphics like random lines, black triangles, etc., especially for safari. Is it just me?

Likely because opengl rendering path isn't updated anymore and is buggy. but that's work aorund 1.2.6 uses to get around lag for 10x0 users using metal and window server

Opengl is very buggy and you want to use Metal for window server IF it's working for your setup. I think the new fixup has config options to disable the opengl work around to try to use 1.2.6 with metal

I also read several positive reports on hackintosh ****** that the new nvidia drivers fix the lag with metal and pascal cards, so that work around is no longer needed. Although I can't say all other driver bugs are fixed well enough to stop using the 378.x.x.x ones.

If it is feasible maybe a clean install of 10.13.4 using latest drivers + latest NvidiaGraphicsFixup will help.
