macOS High Sierra 10.13 slow graphics after battery sleep

"you just need to use a 4k external monitor"

- again, do you see a CEO/management boss that is always on-the-go and in meetings, using 4k external displays?

The majority*of people buying a mackbook don't use external displays and don't game.

developers,sysadmins,designers - I can bet is less than 1% (i'm one of them, but did not payed for my mac.)

(*from that 7% market-share that Apple has compared to 89% for windows)

Again, I am sorry to see that macOS has great potential but is being crippled, is not more open and the 'target users' are sooo small.

Keeping Mac running 3D application and closing the lid leads to fast battery drain in Sleep Mode and makes laptop noticeable warm. I think that this solution is not very good for our hardware.

PS: Any progress to AMD dGPU owners with .2 update? I had no chances to test it because of my timezone (Update wasn't available when I left home, MacBook Pro in current performance condition is cost nothing but 2 kg of aluminium with my work).

Using an older OS version is NOT and should NOT be an option!

There are major security issues fixed, and no one should give up privacy or security for "ease of use/features"

@ho_ax ...Steve was a true engineer, a man of vision and a lot more. Can't compare it 😟

Sierra received security updates together with El Capitan yesterday (6th of December).

It will still receive security updates for a quite a while.

Sierra was NEVER affected by the embarrasing "root" exploit that HS was.

And honestly, there is NO POINT in having a computer that is super secure that doesn't work properly. I'd rather take the minor risks with actually being able to do my work without major frustrations several times a day. That's why I purchased a Apple computer in the first place! I have never been this frustrated with Windows 10 or 8/8.1 for example.

For me it does not always fail, sometimes after a long sleep the graphics still functions correctly.

Today it slept for 3 hours and still ran quickly! Right when I was trying to capture the issue (blush).

Then it slept for about 45 minutes and did indeed fail (I was able to CaptureData and create a movie of it all so that was good).

I'd say mostly it'll fail following the sleep for an hour recipe but not every single time.

Yes, super-secure machine where:

- Integrated graphics outperformance dedicated $XXX GPU upgrade after system went sleep;

- You may just type 'root' and click few times on arrow if you forgot your password (OK, done with that);

- Where I have a number of issues with TouchID after installing HS;

- I spent few hours struggling with Spotlight to index something;
- I still have an issue with SMS via Messages. Just lost my hope to turn it on and forgot about this feature at all.

Hello,

I am currently experiencing this exact same issue. I'm also running 10.13.2. The issue is prominent when I come home from school and plug my external display, AC plug etc. in and try to play World of Warcraft. I'm getting really low fps and the problem goes away right after reboot. It's arduous to have to reboot the computer every time I come home.

Has anyone found a fix for the issue? Do I even have the possibility to revert to Sierra as the model I'm having problems with is the 2017 15" Macbook Pro?

Thanks.

"Today it slept for 3 hours and still ran quickly!"

- please, this kind of info, even if true in your case, is never ever helping anyone!

It only makes Apple say "Oh, so in some cases it works!? Than go reinstall, replace the mackbook, etc." -> it makes it a user problem, see the idea...?

And about 3hours: 2h59m59s or 3h00m00s ? ...

You see, this is like math, and 0.1 something can make all the difference!

Sorry I respectfully disagree about "not helping anyone", how can the facts and details not help?

Recently:

Short sleeps, between 5 to 10 minutes did not trigger the issue.

Two long sleeps over 3 hours did not trigger it.

The 45 minute sleep is what triggered it.

For me it is intermittent but happens about 80% of the time. I realise this could all just be dancing around some threshold but all these facts need to be known.

The other piece of fine detail is I'm getting a slow of 100 fps (for a specially test program I have), but when going fast it sometimes goes 300 fps yet at other times 400 fps - all other things being equal this is a big variation.

I'm also wanting this variation sorted out, with Sierra I was getting +/- 1 fps - rock solid.

I haven't been able to reproduce it yet. Sleep and wake several times now with various times of sleep. Even had it sleep over night. So my question is, maybe I need an external display to trigger the slowdown? Currently I'm just using the internal display. I had the slowdown happen to me once on 10.13.1 while using an external display. Now since 10.13.2 it hasn't happened yet, but maybe it's because I'm only using the internal display. Would be good to narrow down what triggers the problem.

I switched back to Sierra when I saw some people complaining about 10.13.2 not being able to install and some of them got restarts and unable to boot. Basically Apple royally ******. LONG LIVE ANIMOJI!

I still have the issue running 10.13.3 Beta 2 on my Mid 2015 MBP, AMD Radeon R9 M370X. With all the talk about iPhone speed throttling and older batteries it makes me wonder if some of that is creeping into High Sierra...

Aloha I’m still having issues sometimes not all I’d say 50/50 in another note I’m getting an anonymous UUID Panic attack while playing WOW had my logic board replaced on the 2nd and last night happened again seems to be an issue Battle.net app I launched WOW not through Battle.net app and have had no Panic attacks also ran a GPU test called Heaven for 29 minuets on Ultra settings and no restarts just putting it out there just Incase anyone else is having issues Mahalo.

star-affinity i don't know were you have this info, but the update contains no new driver or firmware for the graphics interface. The issue still persists, after some hibernates. I analyzed the content of this update, no graphics......... Please do not give any fake infos about graphics updates
