It worked without graphics errors on 10.12.6 with f07 driver. The performance now is much better with 10.13.4 and your lag fix than it was on 10.12.6. The only problem remaining is the graphics corruption that appears. So far I observed the following:\r\n\r\n- It happens while specific applications are open, for example Mail, or Safari, but only with some specific webpages, not all. So I guess in the moment when specific extra functionality is used\r\n\r\n- I looks like lines are not drawn correctly anymore, the lines are spread then over the desktop, and some areas are not redrawn anymore. If you then resize the windows, or close e.g. Mail, it will turn back to normal\r\n\r\n- I now tried various versions of older drivers, patched for 10.13.4: \r\n30.103 (best performance), 25.160, 25.106, 25.104 and 25.102. All will show this graphics errors, I would even say the recent driver is the most usable.\r\n\r\n- People with other card models but same chipset generation seem not to have these problems, e.g. 1070 users.\r\n\r\nMy questions would be:\r\n\r\n- What do you think is the cause for these errors?\r\n\r\n- Do you know a way to fix it? Should I disable Metal like you described?\r\n\r\n- It seems to happen only on hacks, not on real macs?\r\n\r\n- Could it be related to pc style graphics card power management?\r\n\r\n- Could this be related to Kernel XCPM or the smbios model?\r\n\r\nThanks for giving some insight infos!\r\n"}}
