renaissance18 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Sure. By the way, I successfully installed 10.13.4 Beta 2 (build 17E150f) and I'm using patched Nvidia Driver .104. So far so good. So, just so you know, in case you want to give this method a try. @fabiosun, just tried the script and got everything working on 10.13.4 Beta 2. So...thank you. where did u get that driver Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/324195-nvidia-web-driver-updates-for-macos-high-sierra-update-nov-13-2020/page/47/#findComment-2587522 Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsradu Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 where did u get that driver The official one you can find on the first page of this thread. Nvidia Web Driver - 378.10.10.10.25.104 --> build 17C205 (thanks to ReddestDream) The patched version I made myself using the script that fabiosun posted above. Believe me, it's pretty easy and fun to use. If you choose this way, don't forget to disable SIP. I'm saying this over and over again, because it does make a ton of difference. At least it did to me. So yeah, disable SIP, then get to work. By the way, although there are newer versions of the Nvidia Driver (as you will probably notice if you access the first page), I DO NOT recommend to use them. Many people (including myself) have had performance issues with drivers .156/.157 (basically drivers for 10.13.3) in the form of lag in animations, opening apps and stuff like that. I tried to deal with it myself. But after a while, it became really annoying. So I first switched back to 10.13.2 and, after a while, I went to 10.13.3 again, but keeping the same Nvidia Driver. So, in other words, if you want to avoid future headaches, do yourself a favour and skip those drivers for the time being. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/324195-nvidia-web-driver-updates-for-macos-high-sierra-update-nov-13-2020/page/47/#findComment-2587526 Share on other sites More sharing options...

arsradu Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 thanks, i will it test out right now i get this error = Mac OS X version 10.13.4 (17E150f) is not supported with this package. Please see NVIDIA’s website for further driver information. First patch, then install. You're already on 17E150f. If you don't patch the driver before installing it, since the driver is not made for that build, it will show this error. So, as I said above, first patch the driver, then install it. Otherwise you will always get that error.

arsradu Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 what build version do i use There you go. You're getting closer. Good job. You need to use the one of the MacOS build you want to patch for. In this case: 17E150f It's like saying: I want the driver to be compatible with [THIS] build. In this case, of course, you want it to be compatible with the build you're currently on. That's what the patch does. It "convinces" the driver to work with a build it wasn't meant for. In between the brackets in the screenshot below, you will probably notice it suggests 17D47, because that's the build I'm using on this particular machine. However, this is not the machine with the Nvidia Driver installed. And I am on 17D47. So that's what's gonna suggest. In you case, it will most likely suggest 17E105f since that's the build the YOU are currently using.

Hmmm..ok, it shouldn't say it's not compatible when it is compatible. Can you please, close the terminal window, redownload the original driver, put it into the Downloads folder (if your downloads don't go there already) and start over again? I feel like there might be some cached things somewhere. Also, do a restart and see if you have the Nvidia panel in System Preferences. You shouldn't, since the driver was not installed. Actually, do that first, then try again with the download and the patching.

4l3x88 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Question to the people with 104/106 drivers, are they working as smooth as previous OSX versions?

d5aqoep Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Yes even 104/106 drivers drop frames here and there. Not 60 fps smooth at all times. But they are far better than the v156 abomination.
