chris1111 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I don't know how do you guys successfully build and use "custom" builds for Nvidia driver... I just tried Chris' Nvidia Payload Packager (nice tool, bro!), to "fix" build .104 in order to be used with 10.13.3 (17D47). It was more like an experiment than anything else. Aaaand..although I've got no issues unpacking, editing the build version and repacking the build (I found a youtube video describing how to do that in detail), and then installing it, I've got no acceleration after reboot... I don't know. Maybe I'm missing something. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. But I think I've followed all the steps in that tutorial. And since I've got no errors upon installation, I would say that part went fine. Still...no acceleration. Basically it doesn't wanna use that driver. So, if that was the only thing I had to do to have acceleration with Nvidia .104 and MacOS 10.13.3...well, it didn't work for me. ) Not a big issue. As I said, it was more like an experiment than anything else. And I definitely learned something new today. But...in terms of actual positive results, that didn't work for me. So I went back (I guess technically that would be forward..?) to .156 and everything's back to the way it was. Which is to say definitely not perfect, huge lag and pretty average performance, but at least it works in dual-monitor mode and I've got acceleration. Check it the nvda_drv=1 Boot args is in the NVRAM sudo nvram -p > ~/Documents/nvram.txt maybe current not work for your card?

arsradu Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Check it the nvda_drv=1 Boot args is in the NVRAM sudo nvram -p > ~/Documents/nvram.txt Well, I would say it is there... Also, how could it not be there, if I didn't do a nvram clean or changed anything in the boot args...? It's been there since forever. ) Also, version .156 works with the GTX 950 I'm using on this machine (don't look at my signature, since that's not the system using Nvidia drivers). It's just that its performance is really bad compared to previous versions. I can manage it a few days until Nvidia releases a new (maybe better) build. But I was just curious if you could use 104 with 10.13.3. Aaand...well, technically no issues upon installation. But also...no acceleration. try to search here ricoc90 packager if you have to install from scratch (no old driver installed) Thanks, I will. So far, I only tried installing over a previous installation. I'll keep that in mind for future experiments. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a transparent dock with the .156 driver? Sounds like tons of people are having Library Validation issues again, which can manifest itself as the Window Server running really horribly due to lack of acceleration, but other apps running okay.

To be perfectly honest, I didn't pay attention to that... I think it was transparent, yes. But the browser tabs (and their content) were just awful, all messed up. So I don't know what to tell you... http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/323052-guide-sierra-high-sierra-on-intel-5-6-7-8-9-and-x99-chipset-series-nehalem-sandybridge-ivybridge-haswell-broadwell/?p=2575822 Sadly that didn't make any difference for me...

The one in that post (which seems to be for 17C205)? Or the one I want to use (.104)? I can't just install .104 since it won't go through the OS Build check. At least the official, untouched build will not even install without any editing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
