It’s 16x but only running at 8x weird

This is my metal scores

How’s your opengl test

 

Great that you can confirm a Metal score clearly above 215.000!  For my OpenGL see #846.. Everything looks very consistent and confirms my previous results! Full Metal 2 support with Nvidia 10.13.1 Web Driver!

Difference between Metal 1 and Metal 2: more than 100.000 scores (>200%)!

Hi,

 

I have problems with my new EVGA GTX1060 and 2 monitors on mixed connection DVI / Display Port. The GPU has 1 DVI and 3 display ports.

Boot runs complete, but ends in black screens. This is not a black screen issue, the system is not running in the end. Perhaps after a while a reboot would occur, I did not wait very long.

 

What works:

2 Monitors on Display Ports, but then 1 monitor is recognized as NTSC/television - this is the main problem

1 monitor, DVI or Display Port

Boot with DVI monitor, plug in second monitor in Display Port after boot runs fine.

 

Installed:

OS X 13.1, latest NVIDIA Drivers

Lilu 1.2.1, NvidiaGraphicsFixup 1.2.1, Clover r4289

 

Tried:

Check NvidiaWeb

nvda_drv=1

EmuvariableUEFI

 

I dont know what is easier: Solve boot problem or solve NTSC/television problem. Any suggestions somebody?

Thanks in advance.

Why 2 options ?... Did you ever read the previous posts? The message was the follwing:

 

Apparently in all previous version of the Nvidia Web Driver there was no support for Metal 2 (just Metal 1 so far). Now with the 10.13.1 Web Driver, this has changed! Full support of Metal 2 for supposedly all Pascal and Maxwell Nvidia Graphics cards!

 

The previous posts above are not about different options for Geekbench 4.2.0 Metal Benchmarks! In case of Metal 1 support, the Geekbench Metal Scores have been in the order of 90.000. Now with Metal 2 support, the scores exceed 200.000 by far. 

 

That's all... 

 

I hope you finally caught the message and idea...

Sorry for the noob question but what is the

Nvidia Payload Packager for exactly?

I have a gtx 979 i7 4970 and I was able to update via App Store from 10.12.6 to 10.13.1

Then it it told me there was a update for nvidia web divers I updated that way and everything seems okay so far

The only thing is that it dropped some FPS from cinebench from 90s to 70s but it also enabled metal 2

Thanks

It's to extract the files in the Nvidia package, modify and repack the files for use with macOS beta's.

Huge jump in Metal Scores.

 

 

@d5aqoep

 

sorry for a Off-Topic Question.. but may i ask you why you are using IMac 18.3 and not 17.1 ?

Is it because performance better on 18.3 Or? (I thought for i7 6700K the iMac 17.1 would be better choice?)

I am using 18.3 because I love higher numbers (purely for the lulz) 17.1 or 18.3 made no difference on my system. I just make sure that CPU idles at 0.8 Ghz and Maxes out at 4.2 Ghz. This was happening with iMac 18.3 profile so left it at that. For both I have to use lilu and graphics fixup kexts.

 

BTW I am using GTX 1080ti and have also purchased a licensed copy of GeekBench. It was on 50% discounted price so buying it was no-brainer.

I send an email to developers complaining about their high software prices and then they usually send 30-50% one-time discount coupons. This strategy has worked well so far.

I use 17,1 on my i7-6700k and never see intel power gadget go above 4ghz.
