I don't know hot to enable this {censored} nvidia drivers on my system.

I've installed latest drivers and it always boots in compatible mode (Default macOS Graphics Driver) instead of NVIDIA Web Driver.

I tried to switch different OsxAptioFix efis, tried to boot with or without NvidiaGraphicsFixup (1.2.6).

I have <key>NvidiaWeb</key><true/> in my config.

What i'm doing wrong? Guys, help please.

 

My system: H110M PRO VD, GTX 1060, macOS 10.13.4.

I've been seeing more and more reports that the major issues with the 387 drivers have been fixed in the latest release, so it's probably worth trying to run without the NvidiaGraphicsFixup kext to confirm.  If the drivers have been fixed (or even just changed) there's no telling what the hack in that kext will do if you try and use it with the new drivers.

I built NvidiaGraphicsFixUp.kext 1.2.7 (doesn't have lag fix in it) from source and can confirm no more lag with 387.10.10.10.30.106 on 10.13.5 beta 2.

Finding the new driver works well (without the fix kext installed), although not perfect.

i played a WMV video file in VLC last night and had weird graphical breaks across the screen (like something hit glass at a specific point and breaking in pieces). Have a 5 sec video demonstrating it but it’s apparently too big to attach.

Using YACReaderLibrary for a while suddenly all the comic covers were corrupt, and now so is Safari.

Are you sure that web driver is loaded and active? I have similar artifacts when default driver is working.

Yeah on the covers it was quite pretty, didn't mind it there, but once it spread to the desktop and browser it was pretty ugly and hard to work with.

From one of your post I saw that you are not using the new kexts? Did you install latest Nvidiagraphicsfixup and lilu?

Those are mine if you want to test.

Lilu ver 1.2.3 & Nvidiablabla.. ver 1.2.6

Is that a correct Nvidia startup??

Why "com.apple.nvidia.NVDAStartup" is loading? is that supposed to be load when Nvidia Webdrivers are loaded?

 

it docent matter , disable Apple NVDAStartup but my system crashing when using AE plugins such as Mocha and others, also crashing in general when using HW acceleration by the GPU...

When using Apple drivers everything seems to work fine no crashing however no acceleration from GPU...

Cheers, I had Lilu ver 1.2.3 there but had removed NvidiaGraphicsFixup as people were reporting it working well without it. I'll give 1.2.6 and 1.2.7 a try.

Note since I rebooted, the problems hasn't cropped up again yet BUT I didn't try recreating the problem again.

UPDATE: in 30.106 I still get system crashes in FCPX (forced reboot) *if* I have my 6700k's iGPU enabled in the BIOS. If I disable it in the BIOS, it seems the graphical render artifacts in FCPX are gone, the crashes are gone (at least in the first 10 minutes of testing), and the stutter when playing back 2.5k video is gone. This is great! This system appears to be usable again for me. Again, I'm running dual 1080 Ti cards in an SLI config. This is a huge improvement from what I was seeing in 30.103. Thanks, nvidia devs!

 

UPDATE2: I am still seeing graphical artifacts in the timeline in FCPX. My playback indicator (vertical red line) shows up multiple times as it scrubs along the timeline. It's failing to erase itself. Also, highlighting a clip is unreliable. Part or none of the clip will be highlighted in yellow when I click on it. However, these are relatively minor issues and I can work around them.
