My MacBook Pro has the following specifications:

15" Early 2013 Retina
2.8GhZ i7
16GB RAM

NVIDIA 650M 1GB
Intel Graphic 4000 1536MB

The computer ran with absolute no problems until I upgraded to High Sierra from Sierra. Now whichever Graphics Card the computer switches to the Memory seems to be almost full capacity. Despite me using mostly apple applications and Google Chrome, all of which are up to date. I do not play computer games.

When I used Sierra everything ran beautifully.

See attached photograph.

Even the Album Close and Open motion which happens in itunes when you are using album view is not smooth. Does anybody have any advice on how I can make the graphics smoother.

Thank you
[doublepost=1519054087][/doublepost]I have downloaded the 10.13.3 Nvidia driver from: https://images.nvidia.com/mac/pkg/378/WebDriver-378.10.10.10.25.104.pkg, and this has not solved the issue.

Does anyone have any ideas other than this driver?

It’s the Nvidia graphics card. Search the forums as there are a few threads around that. I had a 2014 Macbook Pro 15” that ran like crap on HS so I donwgraded back to Sierra.
