Noting there is preventing sleep. So it's not a macOS issue. It's either something in your EFI or your BIOS.

I think I finally have it working. With whatever changes to bios that I did, changing to darkwake =0, and Energy Saver settings " Put hard disks to sleep when possible and Wake for network access" seem to have worked.

Thanks go to PastryChef for always being there and for his hint!

A different question...Why when I back up a disk with Carbon Copy Cloner and then immediately perform another backup, does it copy 2 1/2 GB of data?

I'm just guessing... It may be because your sleepimage changed.

A quick question would be - I have 5 monitors and I have to use two video card to drive them.
I wonder does GT 620 + GTX 960(or GTX1070) would works in this setup?
Thanks!

Hello Pastrychef
I have problem with wake-up. Sleep is working without problems. The problem is when i try to wake up. Computer wakes up but screen remain black. Should I play with darkwake settings?
Greetings

You are using the same motherboard I am. My setting should work fine for you. If you haven't already done so, download the updated EFI folders in post #1 and use that.

But the lag has been attributed to newest drivers? I've tested as far back as to .103 (currently running)... Unfortunately, don't have another card to test this behaviour.

Some people have been complaining of lag for a very long time. I never really noticed until .156, but others did. It may be due to the fact that I only run a single monitor and I used the monitor's native resolution. Some of the issues are related to multi monitor setups, some are related to using scaled resolutions, and I'm sure there are others that I don't know about.

The general consensus is that, as of today, the AMD RX 500-series and Vega cards are running better. macOS 10.13.4 should improve AMD compatibility even further.

Hey up. I see some have been experiencing issues around sleeping. I am seeing an intermittent issue whereby the computer restarts itself when left by itself to sleep - can happen quite quickly (like just now) or can be fine for some time equally, so seems to be random.

When I have put it into sleep mode manually myself, this doesn't seem to be an issue.

I am running HS 10.13.3 and .102 of the web drivers.

Appending the system log from the latest boot message, in case anyone can see anything..
