Hello all,
Well a weird situation happened some days ago.
On my mac pro 5,1, i've swapped my 970 gtx (non flashed) with a 1060 GTX (non flashed) somethng like 3 weeks ago, but the nvidia web driver stayed the same 387.10.10.10.30.106 (pfffiiuuuu what a pain.. thanks nvidia..). On bootcamp everything is flawless and games are stable and speedy.
but on High sierra it's another story :
Anyway here it is : right driver with the right HS version. All is good on this side BUT
-HS is crashing A LOT.. and i mean "windows like" a lot. Which NEVER EVER happened before.
When it crashs, it forces quit all your applications displaying a sudden black screen and BAM! instantly kicks you to the login screen !!! any unsaved work is lost of course ! nice !
So i've opened the console to show what these crashs were all about, it appears to be related to NV driver (nvidia) *see pics*
So i've tried to swap to the standard driver (OSX one) but it never ocured to me that when you are on the OSX driver your GTX cannot display any picture through HDMI... VGA is good. But HDMI is a nogo. Why ?
So that leads me to 2 questions :
-After some research i've found that quite some people has a random-kick-to-login issue... and probably related to nvidia driver as well. As anyone found a way to prevent such a bug, which is quite f**king annoying to say the least !!!
-Why a non flashed GTX cannot display any picture through HDMI with the standard OSX driver ??? VGA ok, i assume Display port is ok (i dont have a display port cable to test right now), but HDMI is nogo. Why ?
If anyone can shed some light on this, i'd be really grateful because it's my working machine and as of now.. i can't do something serious on it for more than 5 minutes tops.
Cheers
Guillaume
