macOS High Sierra 10.13 slow graphics after battery sleep

Someone mentioned that changing the screen resolution may be a fix for this problem. FOLLOW UP - Why Does macOS High Sierra Suck? - Krazy Ken's Tech Misadventures - YouTube

I hate to say it, but it's still an issue even with 10.13.3 Beta 3. I can tell right away when the animation for launching Safari is crawling. :-( Come on Apple! Fix it!

Just installed the supplemental 10.13.2 update and I can still reproduce the issue on my MBP 2017 Radeon Pro 460 after a sleep of nearly 60 minutes (with AC adapter connected)

I'm having this same issue too—maybe not as bad as some on this thread. I did the NVRAM reset and thought it was gonna do the trick, but it seems to have come back after sleep-mode.

Hi!

I just managed to solve this by installing nvidia drivers, available from nvidia's site: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/114670/en-us

My card is actually not listed in the supported cards list (I have a gt750m), but it still did the trick for me. I was about to throw my computer out the window.

You Nvidia guys have it good! Is there any way to obtain and install a AMD Radeon Pro driver that can potentially fix this issue? I couldn't find anything on AMD's website.

Chrome or not, it doesn't matter. I don't notice the sluggishness outside of apps and games that taxes the GPU (Final Cut Pro X, Photoshop, World of Warcraft, etc).

Same here! #frustrated!

Tried the nvidia update but got an error:

(Mac OS X version 10.13.1 (17B48) is not supported with this package. Please see NVIDIA’s website for further driver information)

Update:
The Driver alone will not fully fix the problem.

You also need to install the Nvidia CUDA Support.

You're right sff29, waiting might have helped. But I don't see this problem being mentioned in major headlines, but I might have missed it. It's quite a subtle problem that many users might not even notice when it occurs. Even Apple doesn't mention this problem anywhere, as my encounters with several support guys have shown. They just keep you busy with stupid tests and SMC/PRAM-resets instead of saying "we hear you, there is a problem, just wait until we fix it".

Sg1team - I agree. I wasn't trying to be lecturing, or attempting to hold my head higher than some..As I too, am in this boat..

And you're right, there hasn't been any "real" coverage of this issue, which IMO only adds to the frustration..

I absolutely share your frustration when it comes to dealing with  on these issues...I can't tell you how man times I've started support tickets that end in me throwing my hands up and eventually googling the issue and finding the solution myself either on here, or through basic workarounds that never had me zapping the PRAM, or resetting the SMC

sff29 don't worry, I didn't take it that way ;-)

My guess about the low media coverage is either a) the problem is not as widespread as we might think or b) many people just don't notice it.

I am awaiting yet another call of apple support tomorrow, let's see what they have in store for me this time. There is no way I am going to reinstall the OS though, so fingers crossed xD

spadilha I thought so, too. But forcing macOS to always use the dGPU via the energy options didn't resolve this issue for me. I can also choose which GPU Blender is using for GPU rendering, and fixing the setting to dGPU only doesn't do the trick either.

Is there another way to force only the dGPU to be used?

Got the same issue, but I don't think it's Nvidia related, cause I have only the Intel Iris adapter. MacBook Pro 15'' mid 2015. It was working like a charm on Sierra and now, after wake up from sleep it's graphics works like a low-budget Windows laptop.
