Hi all,

I updated my unique hackintosh (which is in my signature) to High Sierra.
Since Sierra (not just High Sierra), I feel that the OS is very slow, very heavy.

Can you please take a look on my clover configuration and tell me what can I enhance or try to get better feeling with my machine ?

I remember that I worked a lot to get a good patched DSDT (for USB + airplay and screen mirroring), and I think it's related to this feature... I don't need it really, so if it's possible to help me to see if it's comming from this trick. I will not hesitate to deactivate some functionnalities to get better results, feeling and stability on my system.

Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards,
Lyes A

P.S.
I attached my config.plist, i put the string XXXX on some private parts.
Ask me for anything else.

I would like to get some help solving this as well.
AAMOF, I have a very similar configuration as you.
Was working well until macOS Sierra.

GA-Z77-DS3H, Core i5 3570, Nvidia GTX 960

You have an nvidia card GTX 960.
I think you must add this in SystemParameters of your config.plist :
Code:
<key>NvidiaWeb</key>
        <true/>

And download/install nvidia drivers with CUDA.

You are using an "iMac18,3" in the config.
What does it bring more than a more old machine profile ?
 
I upgraded to iMac18,3 recently in the hopes that maybe the native nvidia drivers would work. For me it brings noting more...

I am running the web drivers, they're currently enabled via nvram.plist

Code:
     <key>nvda_drv</key>
     <data>
     MQA=
     </data>
