I'm currently running macOS 10.12.6 on my i5-7200u laptop, with everything accelerated. Geekbench CPU and compute scores are higher compared to Windows 10. while I'm happy that pre rendered videos play smooth on FCPX (and 105 secs to export BruceX's 5k test), I'm disappointed in macOS's UI experience. the animations are choppy, especially when resizing chrome's window.
that might be chrome being unoptimised, but with the scaling above 1080p everything would start to stutter. opening folders, entering Finder fullscreen, or even scrolling stutters. reducing transparency does not seem to help much. I just simply don't get why HiDPI needs to scale up the resolution 2x then increase the size. I don't know if Windows 10 does this too, but when I was on Windows + scaled HiDPI resolution everything was buttery smooth. my display is a 14" 1080p, so a scaling to 1600x900 would get me a perfect size. however, to make everything sharper it just has to render 3200x1800, making everything stutter.
it is ridiculous because it happens on the latest rMBPs too. right now I'm typing this on 1600x900 non-HiDPI, and it looks terrible (though it is butter smooth just like the non-retina MBA). sometimes I wished I had a native 1600x900 display instead of 1080p...
but yeah, the main question is: will High Sierra fix all the stutter? I've read somewhere High Sierra fixes the framedrop issue. just curious if there are any High Sierra hackintoshers here who has a smoother experience now... if so then I really can't wait for High Sierra release.
