Strange McP3.1 has min FPS better then McP5.1 with better card
That min FPS can fluctuate a lot, not very accurate.
Unigine benchmarks often capture a very low FPS during scene transition.
Got a tip for us?

Official Web Driver for Security Update 003 now out:
https://images.nvidia.com/mac/pkg/387/WebDriver-387.10.10.10.40.113.pkg
But, I'm stickin' with the old 108 driver as I did for the last Security Update

This morning I tried installing the latest High Sierra Security Update to my primary boot volume but it wouldn't boot and instead my cMP with 980ti automatically chose to boot from a secondary external volume (17G3025). It produced all sorts of kernel panic errors and it didn't even get to Desktop. So I decided to go back to 17G3025 and restored the primary boot volume from yesterday's data in Time Machine. Now I'm back to page one again but what's happening to High Sierra now?
Works on my MAC EDITION GTX680 system fine. Better screen response than the built in mac os drivers when using my 3D cad application. Starting to see issues with my GPU as the system and software seams to need more GPU-GB than I Have.

I've got a copy of the 387.10.10.15.15.108 driver backed up, if you need it let me know. I'd be more than happy to upload it to a server.Too bad that old 108 driver has disappeared off of the face of the earth though.
Nvidia GPU's still need hacking scripts. Only in Windows plug and play (condition Thunderbolt 3 and Windows 10).
Update to 003 in HS using 387.10.10.10.40.118 with a MVC 980Ti, and system boots to Desktop with full-accel.
That would be great. I'll keep an eye out for your link, or you can PM me. Thanks!
No worries! Here's a link where you can download the 387.10.10.15.15.108 driver.
And to be clear, the hacks are to Apple components, right? If that's the case, then there's literally nothing NVIDIA can do about it and it's up to Apple to officially enable eGPU support for NVIDIA GPUs, right?
387.10.10.10.40.113 for 17G4015 is now available:
https://images.nvidia.com/mac/pkg/387/WebDriver-387.10.10.10.40.113.pkg
(Sorry, already posted above.)
I'm on 387.10.10.15.15.108 with 17G4015 without issue.

I believe the Sierra drivers are in maintenance mode only. They are basically being re-packaging for OS compatibility to fix the "broken" drivers with the software update. Do not believe any functionality is being added to Sierra drivers, unless they change build. (Ex, 378.05.05.25f12 > 378.05.10.XXXXX.)
At this point, would also speculate that High Sierra drivers for the 387.10.10.10.40.XXX series are basically the same. NVIDIA did add VOLTA support and improved functionality in the 387.10.10.15.15.XXX series of drivers, but they were pulled. Almost every single issue I had with the 387.10.10.10.40.XXX drivers were resolved with 387.10.10.15.15.108. No updates to that driver have been made available and they have not broken with each of the latest macOS High Sierra security updates.

Wait until 2019 and/or more is known about MP7,1. IF the contract with AMD is an exclusive that ends in 2018 we should know more in the coming months.
I have trouble with /Volta edition drivers for high Sierra -/log-in trouble on multiGPU so I had to downgrade to Sierra

Which God I have to pray?
Zen Garden ? Steve@7th cloud?
The End of the story is AMDs Processor with 32 cores and ECC support with 96$ motherboard is the hackintosh of the future ...

The hacks aren't needed if Nvidia know how to tunnel the GPU drivers across the Thunderbolt. That's how the AMD drivers have eGPU support. But we don't know if Nvidia has been given details how to do this or if they have then when. I bet they have to support full Metal 2 feature support before they are given approval by Apple. Right now they are missing support for 3 of Metal 2 features and that can cause bugs for developers.
The Sierra drivers from nVidia have a sleep-wake problem. The computer is not stable for nearly a minute after waking up. There are mouse problems. Upgrading to High Sierra solved this.
The script is patching an Apple kext:
# Subroutine L: New IOPCITunnelled Patch 10.13.6+ ##############################################################################################################
## Subroutine L1: Global variables
ioGraphicsFamilyBinaryPath="/System/Library/Extensions/IOGraphicsFamily.kext/IOGraphicsFamily"
NVIDIA does not control what Apple puts into IOGraphicsFamily, and it's up to Apple to officially flip the switch and enable IOPCITunneled for NVIDIA GPUs (i.e. what the eGPU hack script is doing).
