NVIDIA Releases Alternate Graphics Drivers for macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 (387.10.10.10.40)

Nvidia Web Driver - 387.10.10.10.40.113 --> build 17G4015

Hey, tried the driver and it didn't work out. The interface buttery smooth, but Microsoft Word stutters like hell and has graphical glitches. Photoshop doesn't recognize the VRam.

I can't get it to work either. I followed the instructions and edited the config.plist.

Sorry, but I don't know how to do this:

1. Mount EFI Partition
2. Open /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/config.plist with text edit, Xcode, or Plist Editor Pro
3. Edit as shown below:

<key>SystemParameters</key>
<dict>
<key>InjectKexts</key>
<string>YES</string>
<key>InjectSystemID</key>
<true/>
<key>NvidiaWeb</key>
<true/>
</dict>

Could someone explain how do I open the config.plist , and where exactly I have to go ?

I located on CLOVER --> Options --> The flag of "Nv_disable"
but I do not locate how to edit the config.plist . Should I start "Start UEFI Shell 64" and which commands should I use to open the file?

I'm sorry, I'm so lost. Thanks in advice

You actually quote the answer.

Do not help me at all. I need some answer for dummies.

Get yourself Clover Configurator, it will allow you to mount the proper EFI partition and edit the config.plist in a way that actual humans can understand.

I did the same thinking it would solve my problems... Fan on the card runs high all the time and am having huge problems with performance working in FCPX

@larsh187,

Not sure if you have still problems with Fan(s) on your Vega as your post was a few months old now but if you'e still looking fo a solution have a look at this guide :-

Hey guys,
did somebody installed the latest High Sierra update (17G5019) and using nvidia web driver?
I did, but unfortunately there is no GPU support and the web driver found no update
Is an old driver could help? I have the latest driver installed, 387.10.10.10.40.113.

Just did, no issues here with driver 387.10.10.15.15.108

but unfortunately there is no GPU support and the web driver found no update

See nvidia-update - Simple way to install nVidia web drivers

I have tried in terminal:
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Benjamin-Dobell/nvidia-update/master/nvidia-update.sh) 387.10.10.15.15.108

but it does not found that version.

but it does not found that version.

That driver was removed by Nvidia as people were having installation issues with it.
Just use 387.10.10.10.40.113 as it's the latest driver currently available
