Other apps such as Predict Wind and the website, both give approx 2 frames per second. I have a rMBP early 2013 model with a 1GB Nvidia 650gt discreet card as well as Intel HD4000 on board gpu, both graphics cards cannot handle anything much in High Sierra, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign feel as though you are working through treacle, so slow. Years ago, me and my friends joked about apple getting too big for its own good and turning into another microsoft, though it's not fully there yet, the last few years, the symptoms have gotten worse and I'm afraid we're well on our way.
It is beyond infuriating, and I'm not going to just buy a $3000+ machine because I already have one that beats a lot of the current geek bench scores of new MacBooks.ĭoes anyone have a suggestion of what to do and how to solve this? Nvidia's cuda website driver list doesn't point to anything being available and neither Apple support nor Nvidia are helpful.
Here's a post of last year's (exact same) problem with Sierra macOS Sierra & NVIDIA GPUĮither Apple should say macOS sierra is not fully compatible with MacBook Pro Retina laptops before 2015 for example or should at least warn us to hold off. But this year is beyond ridiculous (first that it happened again, and second that it's taking this long). Last year we had a bit of a similar problem and I posted a discussion about this (which prompted an Apple engineer to call me directly btw), and it was resolved in a matter of a couple weeks from the time Sierra was released last year. So I've been using a subpar machine since the release of High Sierra because Apple/Nvidia or Nvidia/Apple haven't upheld their part of keeping machines up to date. But with the recent advent of bugs and problems plaguing slightly older hardware (see iPhone 6, 6s and 7 with iOS ) it is absolutely mind-boggling that Apple would allow a release of High Sierra macOS 10.13 without warning people who have MacBook Pro Retinas (mine is a late 2013) with Nvidia GT 750M that Nvidia still hasn't released a compatible driver to work well with macOS 10.13. It's normal that any operating system release sees bugs and subsequent releases fixes those. This is a bit of a frustrating message I'm going to post, with a question and hopefully someone can provide a solution. I've been using macs since 2004 and iPhones/ipads since their release.
