Nvidia Web Driver updates for macOS High Sierra (UPDATE Nov 13, 2020)

[Cyberdevs]

ps in beta 10.13.2

for me it is not working..

also coda needs patching lib

Maybe that's because of the patched version of the web driver, Apple always changes things (to improve them per say) and my guess is that the web drivers need to change for the 10.13.2 as well.

[captain-j]

Is it working by default or we still need to use the 3rd party software to change the color depth?

 

I had to use ResXtreme to change it (same with Sierra). Once you've changed, it should hold (though it might reset if you change resolutions using Displays in System Preferences).

Did you try using ResXtreme? It goes black for a few seconds but then comes back on. Well, it did for me.

Thanks for the tip but @fabiosun says it's 30bit by default so I'm a bit confused 

 

I guess I'll find out soon enough after I update the OS though

30bit/10bit color works now! Using latest web drivers 378.10.10.10.20.107 and 10.13.1 (final release).

So, 30bit/10bit color depth under 10.13.1 is managed by the Web Diver, or SwitchResX did..?

It's supported by the web driver. But to change to it in macOS, you have to use ResXtreme (at least in my case).

New webdriver for 17B48: https://images.nvidia.com/mac/pkg/378/WebDriver-378.10.10.10.20.107.pkg

 

Oh, nevermind. I didn't see it in #1 but piiggggg mentioned it already 

[Cyberdevs]

Clean install on my Skylake rig. I used ResXtreme to change the color depth.

Hi cyberdevs,

 

do I have uninstall the Nvidia web drivers for the 10.13 (17A405) (WebDriver-378.10.10.10.15.121) first or it does not matter? I can just install the new Nvidia web drivers (WebDriver-378.10.10.10.20.107)

 

Right now I'm at High Sierra 10.13 (17A405)

 

Thanks,

Hi there,

 

I guess it's better to uninstall the web drivers first and then run the update and install the latest web drivers afterwards.

[newsman1]

Thank you Very much I will try that 

[Cyberdevs]

Thank Very much I will try that 

You're welcome buddy

[newsman1]

so I just did a straight update with App Store and everything went smooth no problem I just had to install the web drivers

Tonight before the Game  I had a bit of time to install the Beta High Sierra 10.13.2 because yesterday with the official 10.13.1 addition and the big game of Baseball win by the LA Dodgers   , I did not have the time

I post you today my test and my indications first thing the sustem Boot very quickly and my GeForce GT 1030 2 Gig works of the thunder with Web drivers Installation with ➤  Nvidia Payload Packager

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

function validateSoftware()
{
var supportedOSVer = "10.13.2";
var supportedOSBuildVer = "17C60c";
var targetBuild = system.version.ProductBuildVersion;
var result = compareBuildVersions(targetBuild, supportedOSBuildVer);

 

Same 17C60c in the NVDAStartupWeb.kext

 

<key>NVDARequiredOS</key>

<string>17C60c</string>

 

 

 

 

 

 

After a test with Clover r4279 I quickly noticed that it does not work, I have  imediatly install Clover r4243 on the SSD Sandisk 120 G and it worked the first time  

Here for those who will encounter a problem, try a more old revision Clover  for High Sierra 10.13 2 (17C60c ) 

 

Edit ***

I did it without any SMBIOS infos in config.plist and I had an iMac 21.5

on the desktop

 

Tonight I expect a big win from the LA Dodgers     

Enjoy

Updated to release 10.13.1, installed new Nvidia Web drivers for 10.13.1, and tryed to remove NVWebDriverLibValFix.kext and all works!

 

So now we don't need extra kexts to use Nvidia Web drivers, my card is Geforce GTX 1070.

If your using NvidiaGraphicsFixUp.kext 1.2.0 it already includes the fixes from LibValFix.

Just noticed that the 10.13.1 web drivers also have fixed GPU-related issues in Firefox (PDFs were showing up black, Google Maps wouldn't load, etc.)

 

Good to see Nvidia is actively working on the drivers!

From the WebDriver-378.10.10.10.20.107 Packages for High Sierra 10.13.1

Nvidia remove the flag for the SIP security in the WebDriver Packages-378.10.10.10.20.107 You do not have to modify the scripts for this package   

You can use it SIP disable. Maybe I contribute to the return of a normal Package

Yes, IMHO it was problematic with SIP Enabled Disabled especially on Hackintosh..

For Web Driver pkg, I usually use Flat Package Editor to change OSversion from Distribution file 

Your tool is good though, I run it yesterday under 10.13.2 Beta but after launching modified *.pkg succeeded, it uninstalled my prev Web driver instead of replacing them with new release.

Yep the tool is good also Flat is very nice   pity that it no longer works in 10.13

No need Extra Kext  with the new Package for my Geforce GT 1030 

10.13.1 and 10.13.2   Great Job NVIDIA

Do you have NvidiaGraphicsFixup v1.2.1 loading with Lilu?

Did anybody realise at all that the new 10.13.1 Nvidia Web Driver now also supports Metal 2??? 

 

Look at this! Tremendous Metal Score rise from 94.000 to 230.000!!!

So nvidia web drivers work to their full potential?

I have a gtx 1080ti on ryzen and it would throttle it

Getting them to work is one thing having performance issues is another

If anyone can point me to the right direction I would appreciate it
