I use my hackintosh for game development so I spend a lot of time in 3d programs like Unity3D. Previously I was using a gtx970ti on Sierra and had few issues. After updating to High Sierra (10.13.4) however, I ended up with lots of UI lag and horrible METAL & OpenGL performance even with the latest Nvidia drivers, NvidiaGraphicsFixUp, etc.

I really wanted to get better performance out of my machine so I bit the bullet and bought an RX Vega 56 for the native OOB support. The card is fully recognized by 10.13.4 and the UI performance is great. Unfortunately, METAL & OpenGL performance appears to have gotten worse for some reason. I have tried VegaGraphicsFixUp, Whatevergreen, RadeonDeInit, and a number of different SMBIOS configurations to no avail.

Am I missing something here or is my machine just not cut out for high sierra?
 
Mine Sapphire 56 has the same issue. UI is great but pretty much every game will eventually crash. I have to do a hard reset to get back up and running. I have not tried any kexts or "fixes."
