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

[miles99]

Actually, I have two 980Ti running and Octane sees them. Running on a From what I can tell the system is using them from what I can tell that the driver is working. But Octane and Photoshop can't access hardware acceleration (CUDA). When I try to run a CUDA test on Geekbench, it first tries Sobel and terminates the test without result.
Running a Z77X-UD5H with an i7, and iMac13,2. Would really appreciate if you could share your config.plist (same MoBo here).

I tried to completely uninstall Nvidia drivers via script. Rebooted. I have installed last drivers via the same script from Vulgo. Same problems.

Edit: Used CUDA-Z and it turns out that the cards are running an old driver. Even though WEB drivers are installed and selected they pull the old version (355.11.10.10.30.120) from somewhere. Does anyone know how to solve this?

I'm Z87 and Haswell, and you both are Z77 and Ivy Bridge. I assume you updated from 10.13.4 or 10.13.3 to 10.13.4 Security Update. If so, check your settings and your Clover config plist -- make sure you're using the latest Clover and latest kexts. Check your Clover config plist in Clover Configurator to make sure that NvidiaWeb is still checked in System Parameters. Is your SIP enabled or disabled? Was it enabled or disabled when you installed? Nvidia web driver and CUDA are different drivers, so use the CUDA preference pane to uninstall the CUDA driver, and reinstall it, making sure you have the latest: http://www.nvidia.com/object/mac-driver-archive.html.

miles99, does this sound familiar? Check it out:
"I used the utilities to patch x.159 and the desktop manager has not crashed yet, but Google Chrome and FF still lag very badly and the GPU memory still appears to be corrupted. SysPref>CUDA panel reports that the OSX official Nvidia driver is running (355.11.10.10.30.120), even though SysPref>NVIDIA Driver Manager reports that 387.10.10.10.25.159 is running. I'm not sure which one is accurate." #148 Posted 02/27/2018 04:26 PM
"Are You Guys don't read before comments or what!
Switch off SIP and install drivers. For now this resolve all problems...." #150 Posted 03/10/2018 03:25 AM

xpzone, FYI 387.10.10.10.30.107

Yes 2 x 1070s , new driver works fine , just no opengl. And I would rather use 104 than remove a card.
I have tested it and 1 card works fine with opengl.

FYI - Latest *30.107 still breaks OpenGL on my dual GFX card hack. Reverting back to patched *25.106... sigh.

Which method did you use to revert back?

nvidia-update... Hope it's not the case, but I'm starting to worry that *25.106 will be the last fully functional driver to support dual GPUs.

I thnk you could be right , our days are numbered

I just ran the script and the installer installed 10.30.106. r people still recommending 25.106?

also, does anyone have to link the the release github for nvidiagraphicsfixup and lilu? I can find the one that requires compiling but can't seem to find the other one.

I have a feeling the script needs to be updated or something as 30.107 just came out. It seems like 30.106 is the most functional for those who are using one GPU (most people), but for the few of us that are running dual GPUs, 25.106 is the closest thing to fully functional on High Sierra.

Man this is just annoying and this is getting me worried about the support of dual GPUs with future MacOS releases.

Hey! After reading your message I decided to give my Hack another chance. And eventually, I have fixed my problems with Chrome/Discord/WebGL lags.

What I did:
1. Turned SIP off just in case. - nothing changed. Not sure if this step is necessary.
2. Using https://github.com/vulgo/webdriver.sh removed Nvidia drivers completely (webdriver -r)
3. Reboot
4. Installed latest Nvidia drivers using the official installer, not the webdriver.sh.
5. Reboot... and boom! Everything works as it should. WebGL, Discord, Chrome

It looks like in my case installing drivers using webdriver.sh somehow messed things up.
Hope this will help someone.
