That text is normal. It is from apfs.efi.

If you are having graphics lags, downgrade Nvidia web drivers to .104 version.
 
@pastrychef thanx for the prompt reply.

Any ways to hide that apfs text on MB logo screen?

current driver version is 161.

I tried to install 104, but it says unsupported by the OS and flickers for any activity. so I have to install 161.

It sometimes slows down the chrome, opening and closing tabs in browsers.

Yes, there are directions on how to hack apfs.efi to hide the text but I never did it. Search around on this forum. Directions are somehwere... I don't know where off the top of my head.

Again, search around on this forum on how to downgrade to .104. There are a lot of threads that talk about the lag and tons of people have downgraded.
