Bad graphic performance after sleep

I'm having the same problem, the problem did not occur on Sierra. I have been running every beta as soon as it comes out, but the issue is present in every update. Occasionally (especially after waking it in the morning) the Radeon GPU performance becomes unusable, requiring a restart. I have brought the machine to the Apple store, where they have run diagnostics and could see nothing wrong with the hardware. Their only suggestion was to factory reset the machine, but the problem still persists.

I have the MacBook Pro 2016 15-inch (256GB, Radeon 450). Currently on 10.13.2 beta (17C60c).

My MacBook Graphics are actually always slow. Specially Slack and Atom are unbearable. Typing something has a delay ore more than a second. I already tried a reinstall, removed some of the graphics plists stuff, reset PRAM and probably various other things.. Nothing seems to help. Other apps are not always slow, but some noticeable slowdown occasionally occur. RAM is not full, CPU usage is not high. Also another user has the same problem. Since I installed High Sierra I have this issue, and it's driving me crazy.. I did not buy a new MacBook to end up with a slower device, specially since I have the 4GB GPU option installed.

I have the same problem with my MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017).

Even extarnal monitor attached through a VGA connector stopped to work with High Sierra.

I contacted directly Apple but none of their solutions worked.

I'm also experiencing this issue.

It was never an issue in Sierra 10.12.6, but ever since upgrading to High Sierra (10.13.0 and 10.13.1) this issue is present. I have to reboot my computer every time it's been to sleep, otherwise the graphical performance is reduced by about 70%. I have a MacBook Pro 2017 with an i7 2.9GHz, 512GB SSD and Radeon Pro 560M.

This issue is also widely documented on macrumors and on multiple gaming forums (Blizzard, WoW, Diablo, etc).
It needs to be fixed asap as this also severly affects rendering times in Final Cut Pro X byt A LOT.

It's still not fixed in 10.13.1, 10.13.2 beta 1 or beta 2.

Very disappointing to say the least.

Reported on Reddit: GPU Performance in High Sierra drops after sleepmode - MacOS
Reported on the MacRumors forums: 2017 MBP 15" Radeon GPU does not work after resume from long sleep

Reported on Blizzard's Diablo forums: High Sierra 10.13 - Low FPS - Diablo III forums

Reported on Blizzard's WoW forums: Frame-rate problems after DL'ing High Sierra - World of Warcraft forums

The good news is Apple is aware of the issue. I received a phone call from a Tech on the AppleCare team who would be submitting the case reports to the macOS engineering team for a future update. If its not fixed soon, we can escalate this to a higher level.

Ugh this is sadly my issue also.

2017 15inch MacBook Pro 3.1GHZ Radeon 560 4gb

I put the laptop to sleep all the time at work and find poor performance after waking in photoshop and illustrator. Moving and rotating big shapes takes forever compared to reboot. I also play a few FPS games on the Mac and frame rate is slowed dramatically after sleep. Doesn’t seem fair for a laptop that cost me $4600

I've been afraid that this was another hardware issue, since I have already had 2 with my Late 2016 15-inch MBP. I am "happy" to hear that I'm not the only one.

My Geekbench score after sleep was 11818, whereas shortly after restart it went up to 37299. I have Radeon Pro 450 and its performance after sleep was worse than Intel HD 530, which scored 19150 points.

Have the same exact problem on a 2017 MBP with the 560 graphics. Apple has been dropping their quality assurance game... VERY dissapointed. Ever since I updated to High Sierra, my gaming performance has been equivalent to an ultrabook.

Same here on 15'' mid 2015 with Intel Iris. I'm considering to switch back to Sierra and wait for fix, cause I'm expecting from my laptop to be ready to work just after open. That's the main reason I beloved Apple years ago. This is the first time since about 10 years when I'm disappointed. Please Apple, fix it quickly!

Sorry to say I'm a victim too.

I provided more info in this similar thread on this forum: Re: Re: macOS High Sierra 10.13 slow graphics after battery sleep

Hopefully this will get fixed soon.

Thanks.

The same issue here. MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017) with macOS 10.13.1 (17B48)

I have this problem too on 13.1

The game I usually play goes from 60-70fps to 10-20 fps after I close and open the lid.

Tried for a few days and I thought it was better, but alas I just experienced the issue again in 10.13.2 beta 2 (17C67b)
