Got it. Thanks for your help Henties.
Troubleshoot, more I cannot recommend. The 106 drivers are clearly not meant for 10.13.4 and if used could cripple functionality in other areas that will only surface later when it is perhaps too late, who knows ?I have a very similar build, but im using a 1070 card which causes me a lot of issues. However, do you recommend if I start from scratch to reinstall the OS, would this help with my situation. The problem I am facing now, is the infinity loop on startup if I use the latest nvidia driver. However, I would not have this problem if I use the 106 driver.

According to wikipedia 'Explicit synchronization between GPU and CPU' is one of several reasons why Metal should have better performance than OpenGLInteresting how Intel Power Gadget reacts to the lag :
Pastrychef, I'm right behind you. same story w/ GTX 1070. Just ordered a RX580 Nitro this AM. Any tips you might offer up in making the switch to AMD for the 10.13.4 user? I'm sure this would make a great new thread if you're up for sharing your experience.I tried everything from differrent kexts to different config.plist settings to different BIOS settings to clean install. Nothing worked for me except using the .104 drivers.
Believe me. I really, really wanted my old GTX 1080 to work right but with several releases of Nvidia web drivers and no resolution, I just sold my GTX 1080 and replaced it with a Vega 56. Everything's been smooth as silk since, albeit with a bit more fan noise.

When the majority users do not experience any lags there is nothing to alert people of in the buyers guide.
It was amazingly simple.
With an Nvidia card still installed in my system (still running macOS 10.13.3 at the time),
- Uninstalled Nvidia web drivers.
- Uninstalled Cuda.
- Opened my config.plist with Clover Configurator.
- Enabled RadeonDeInit.
- Shut down.
- Swapped video cards.
- Boot up.
Now, with macOS 10.13.4, we don't even need to enable RadeonDeInit. The RX 500-series and Vega cards are just plug and go.
Sounds simple enough.
On my system I added a few kexts and DSDT PATCHes to enable my onboard Intel iGPU.
Do you think I should remove them? Do I need this with the RX580 on 10.13.4?
Here is what I added to "Config.plist" for the iGPU:
shiki.kext
Lilu.kext
IntelGraphicsFixup.kext
NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext
FAKEPCIID.kext
FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext
