Slow Graphics Performance MacOS High Sierra

Yes I did, even the newer one.

Any update on this issue? Is there a way to disable Nvidia GPU, maybe that could help temporarily.

Any specific way of installing it? Both packages don't seem to be loaded on me.

Edit: I managed to force load it, but with zero effect to the performance on my 2012 MBP 15" :/

for me the Lilu.kext + NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext does the trick on 10.13.4.

As mention before latest WebDriver doesn't work at all. I'm rMBP early 2013 + G650m

Anyone try macOS 10.14 Mojave yet with a GT 750M? Perhaps we'll have to wait for a public beta before we hear anything but I'm really hoping to skip High Sierra and go right for Mojave...

Still the same with 10.13.5 for me: as soon as the nvidia gpu is activated, the MPB lags.

This situation is crazy.

Hi guys! has anyone tested with a GT 750M on Mojave?

Anyone running prerelease software is under non-disclosure agreement, and can't discuss how it is working on THIS forum. See if anything has been posted on MacRumors.

Hi HellPf,

How did you do that? ("disable nvidia card and use only intel iris pro")

Is there now a simple and safe way to do that?

Thanks for you answer!

- Parallels12 kext, leftovers?

Virtualbox and LittleSnitch should work in HS, both are not my favourites.

Boom2 may not be fully compatible, not my favourite either.

You could clean up a bit.

- Windowserver needs unusual much of the resources.

Download gfxCardStatus2.3 and start it after startup and set it to irisPro: how does the mac behave;

when not better startup and set gfxCardStatus to Nvidia and see how it behaves.

the firmwares may have been irreversibly updated

At least in the case of the Mac Pro desktop silver tower, the firmware upgrade appears to be completely compatible with all older things. it does not have to be reversed -- it is backward-compatible.

Reseting NVRAM and SMC didn't work for me. Fresh install of High Sierra didn't work either. I've also tried up to Beta 2 of 10.13.2, still no luck.

Based on conversations I had with support, and other postings around the web pointing to graphics issues with High Sierra and 2013-2014 MacBook Pros, it looks like it is a graphics driver issue.

I've reverted to Sierra and everything works fine, so I'll wait until there is progress on this before upgrading again!

I'm now watching macOS High Sierra: parts of the window not rendering · Issue #10736 · electron/electron · GitHub for progress. It makes reference to several other problems in Chrome and specific Electron-based apps that are suffering from GPU-related issues in High Sierra on similar MacBook Pro models. My guess is that these are related (I was having these problems myself).
