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

[buddyjack2]

Oddly, a second Security Update this week just popped up today, also called 2019-002 for 10.13.6 like the one two days ago, but post-install my Mac is now showing as 17G6030, up one number from the one two days ago (17G6029). And, predictably, there are no NVIDIA webdrivers for it yet...

Did you get the 17G6030 via itunes/mac store update app or from apple website directly?

I am also in the same predicament.

I downloaded 2019-002 from apple website thinking it was the same 2019-002 update since they both are the same filename.
So I thought I already got the correct alternate nvidia drivers 387.10.10.10.40.123 (17G6029) for it
but after updating, it is showing as 17G6030 so hence the nvidia drivers are not able to be installed.

My system is now running so poorly due to not having any nvidia drivers installed..

So what can we do about this situation?
Is there a way to downgrade?
Would having a time machine backup been able to rollback the update etc?

Also where can we download 17G6029 update file?
The apple website no longer has that file, just the most recent 2019-002 (17G6030) update file

Looks like *another* reason to switch to AMD graphics. Initially I was thrilled at getting an nVidia 1080 in MacOS, but with one problem after another after another, plus no 10.14, plus no future updates, that 1080 looks pretty lousy next to even a "basic" Radeon 580.

And yes, I'm in slow-graphics mode now too.

Have you tried this?

nvidia-update - Simple way to install nVidia web drivers

Given the recent issues with official nVidia web driver releases (namely 387.10.10.10.25.156 and 387.10.10.10.25.157), I decided to put together a dead simple one-stop solution for updating to the latest reliable nVidia web drivers. It's called nvidia-update and hopefully makes life easier for...

Ive never really had too much luck with making a working Hackintosh. This place has been great when working through my Hackintosh woes.
Recently tried making one again and am running into a problem I never got to before (previous attempts failed) and that's the black screen after enabling Nvidia web drivers and rebooting.

The apple logo and loading bar start after enabling NVIDIA Drivers on reboot but stop at 3/4 progress and go to a black screen for a couple seconds then my monitor gets no signal and goes into power saving. Ive tried several attempts to resolve this but I'm not 100% on how all this works.

Im on build High Sierra 17g65 and for the life of me cannot get it to work. I have a pending security update 2019-001 update that refuses to complete successfully as well and am thinking this may be the issue...maybe..

Suggestions or pointers on how to properly set IDs and the like with Clover to get this working would be super appreciated.

Follow my guide on how to setup the Nvidia videocard in Asus BIOS as well as setting the IDs with Clover Configurator > https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...sung-1tb-960-evo-nvme-nvidia-gtx-1050.249402/

You need to run and install this version of the Nvidia driver for your 17G65 update > https://images.nvidia.com/mac/pkg/387/WebDriver-387.10.10.10.40.105.pkg

I've upgraded to 17G6030 too. And I've managed to use vulgo's script to patch NVDAStartupWeb Info.plist to make webdriver version 387.10.10.10.40.122(17G5019) able to be loaded on 17G6030.

THis script should also able to patch driver so that they can be loaded on your system.

I have given up worrying about web drivers and I'm running on Intel integrated graphics via HDMI on the motherboard for a problem free life. Still retaining the Nvidia 1080ti on Displayport for booting into Windows.

Lucky you...some of us don't have that option since we need the GPU's for computing purposes!

I got bit by this one too. Hopefully, we see something pop out from Nvidia tomorrow...

I ran this without any revision number and it's picked 378.10.10.10.40.123 automatically (the newest version for the original security update) and everything is working perfectly. When new drivers drop I'll update then, but for now this solution is brilliant.
