If you want to stay with MacPro 6.1 (and using usual policy patching method)

in that black screen condition in boot loader menu press F11 (clear nvram and reboot) then press space bar and force nvda_drv=1

it could help :)

 

MacPro6.1 also black screen with .158

Also, word of advice: Nvidia driver .158/.159 + iMac17,1 SMBIOS = black screen (Lilu and NvidiaGraphicsFixup v1.2.2)

 

Just so you know.

I had no issue with the nVidiaGraphicsFixup and lilu and defiantly no black screen with the following clover patch:

 

Name:

com.apple.driver.AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy

 

Find:

ba050000 00

 

Replace:

ba000000 00

Do you experience a lot of timeout in console log re AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy?

I’m not sure that helps in this case. I’ve got black screen WITH signal.

 

Anyway, for now, I reverted to patched .104.

 

Thank you! :)

I guess not.

 

I can't see any applegraphicsdevicepolicy logs in the console.

 

Do you want me to look for any specific entries in my logs?

Zero improvement with 158 driver on 10.13.3 Build 17D102

 

macOS is unusable with this driver.

 

Start a thread, or post in one of the existing threads, at https://forums.geforce.com/default/board/132/geforce-apple-gpus with detailed instructions of how to reproduce the lag.  Include a detailed description of your Hackintosh setup, especially motherboard/GPU and which system definition (e.g. iMac17,2) you are using.  NVIDIA is clearly working to improve this, but posts like "my system lags" don't contain enough information for them to do anything about it.

Submitting videos of the lag (recorded at 60FPS, I think would work best) to Nvidia would probably help too. As for reproducing it, just use the system and open apps and use normally and it just occurs. It's more like moments where the system/video "hiccups" than a lag, but to each their own.

 

It's worth noting too that some users (including myself) have seen issues with "lag"/"hiccups" with the Nvidia 390.xx proprietary driver on Linux too whereas the issues don't present themselves with the 387.xx drivers.

 

If only cryptomining didn't inflate GPU prices right now, I'd so get a Vega 56 or 64 for out-of-the-box macOS support and better open-source driver support + Wayland support for Linux.
