I lost some screen real estate but it made a noticeable improvement with screen GUI lag. I tried 10.13.6, no dice. Other than that the performance is great.

Thanks for your response. (and thanks to everyone else as well!)
I played around with resolutions and apparently the whole machine runs better on the default resolution, especially pro-tools. I guess that's a fix, but it's a pretty bad one in my opinion.
And to whoever said to stay saturday if it needs to work monday: HAHAHAHAHA. no. They broke the system, they should be the ones to fix it. (I work at a network) I didn't ask for it (someone just said I did, really bizarre situation but that's another story). The old machine just needed a few tweaks. Instead I'm running on what is basically an experimental system. I actually asked for the last gen of cheesegrater mac and mavericks and PT 11 and they said no for some insane reason. Also, it works fine. It's just
visually laggy which slows me down a bit. Audio performance is excellent.
As for details that others were asking about, I'm connecting via HD thunderbolt, my display was running at the highest resolution available, and I run almost exclusively izotope and avid plugins, with the occasional Slate VMR or VSC. EDIT: and my sessions are run from a networked server over a 10gbps connection. When I have issues, I put the sessions on a 1tb external SSD (thunderbolt or USB3) to check if that fixes anything. In this case there was no difference.
Thank you to anyone for your help and I'd still like to hear from anyone experiencing the same issue.
