I just stupidly-can't find firewood under (16G1311)

it used to be (16G1211)

[fantomas]

I guess it is just a matter of time before they post 16G1311 webdriver version.

10.12.6 16G1314

Nvidia webdriver doesn't works?

[haring]

Solved with a little modification:

S/L/E > NVDAStartupWeb.kext > Contents > info.plist

Change (lines 45-46)

			<key>NVDARequiredOS</key>
			<string>16G1212</string>

with

			<key>NVDARequiredOS</key>
			<string>16G1314</string>

I copied the kext on the desktop, I duplicated it, modified it, put it back into S/L/E and updated the cache.

 

hope it helps

Nvidia web driver 378.05.05.25f07 is out.

Thank you for purchasing an NVIDIA® graphics card for the Mac Pro. 

This software package contains:

   ● A driver designed for your NVIDIA graphics card.
   ● A preference pane in System Preferences that includes options to:
      ◦ Switch between the NVIDIA Web Graphics Driver or Default OS X Graphics Driver.
      ◦ Enable Error Correcting Codes (ECC) on supported graphics cards.
      ◦ Automatically check for NVIDIA software updates for your graphics card.
   ● An optional menu bar item that provides easy access to the most common preferences.

If, for any reason, you are unable to boot your system to the desktop and wish to restore your original drivers, you can do so by clearing your Mac’s NVRAM. To clear NVRAM, power on your Mac and hold down Command (⌘), Option, P, and R simultaneously before the gray screen appears. Keep the keys held down until you hear the startup chime for the second time. The system will now boot with the original drivers restored.

Does it change anything for you?

[haring]

For me? Nothing, it works without special effects. In the "patched" version I didn't do any particular tests.
Honestly I'm not satisfied with this video card both with "real" and "forged" drivers...

ps, CUDA has also been updated. Latest version: 387.178 for GPU Driver Version 378.05.05.25f07.

[Funky frank]

Maybe I am hallucinating, but either the recent f07 driver or the recent nvidiagraphicsfixup anti-lag patch (also working for sierra??) seems to make the desktop feel a bit snappier now. But microstuttering in webgl water still is there... Hm.

[haring]

I see that (without fixup), I didn't understand what you mean:

[Funky frank]

I see microstutters in the water webgl animation, like sometimes there is a short freeze, every 1-2 seconds or so. I also tested this on High Sierra, there the animation runs butter smooth, without any lags.

[haring]

No freeze, interruptions or lags in my case. System in signature is up to date. Never tried before.

[ACIDSky]

With the new fix kext appeared artifacts on some sites in Safari. In places where the video is embedded. Or a Google maps frame.

Anyone have the WebDrivers for 10.12.6 version 16G1404 handy?

Been a while since I used my hackintosh and I've completely forgotten the mod I need to make to the package to get it to install.

[fantomas]

@all

Guys, I think I've been more than patient with your 'off-topic' posts. From now on, any 'off topic' post will be deleted without summation and the user will be warned.

@tarasis

Not released yet.

It was a security beta for after 10.12.6 it seems. (I thought I'd turned beta off, but it had turned back on again)

I've gone and installed 10.13.4 now anyway.

Any improvements or changes vs build 25f07? I don't want to update if there isn't any bugfix or added value. Thanks...

After I applied Security Update 2018-003 to Sierra 10.12.6, NVidia Web Driver 378.05.05.25f08 is now "incompatible" and has been disabled by NVidia Driver Manager (automatically switched to OSX Default Graphics Driver).  Tried uninstalling and reinstalling web driver with same result.
