I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro. I want to try Sierra as most of the software I want to use no longer works on Mavericks. I went through a number of post that I can install Sierra on 8 GB USB drive but that turned out only to be a macOS installer thumb drive.

Yes, you can. I have installed High Sierra onto a bog-standard Sandisk Cruser 32GB flash drive (2014 Mac Mini). It takes several hours to install with absolutely no output onscreen; I initially thought it had hung. Once booted, its quite usable.

You certainly can install macOS Sierra to a USB device. I would advise you use USB 3 or 3.1 in order to ensure a smoother experience while booted from this device.

First of all, use the Mac App Store installer for macOS Sierra, which you can get here: get macOS Sierra. Learn more about obtaining macOS Sierra here: How to download macOS Sierra

Next, it's best to format your USB device as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). With Scheme as : GUID Partition Once you do this, open the macOS Sierra installer. When you are prompted to choose an install destination, make sure to choose your USB device.

I too am attempting this on the very same model of machine. I have found that it is possible to install directly to the flash drive without a second USB installer.

However, it took on order of 8 hours to complete. And running the OS was excruciatingly slow. I find this confusing as I have installed that OS on a USB external hard drive with no issues and only a very slight slowdown booting over USB from that drive.

Makes me wonder if Apple is deliberately hobbling flash drive installs. Or perhaps there is some sort of accelerator that is missing for flash drive boot volumes.

Interesting question. Some years ago, I found out, that Snow Leopardis running quite well from USB-sticks or even micro-SDHC with higher reading rate - either via USB 2.0 or 3.0 at MacBook Air and iMacs. This short tutorial shows the procedure.

1. Download the High Sierra installer to your Mac (it should end up in Applications)
2. format the USB pendrive to have GUID Partition Scheme
3. open Terminal and type: sudo /Applications/Install macOS High Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume --applicationpath /Applications/Install macOS High Sierra.app

Substituting 'MyVolume' for the name you gave to your USB pendrive.It will erase the pendrive and install High Sierra on it. Reboot and select the pendrive as the startup disk, using Option key while booting.

Alternate NVIDIA Graphics Drivers
NVIDIA releases alternate graphics drivers separately on the web for each build of macOS. These are different from the drivers Apple ships as standard, and should be considered experimental. In the past, the drivers have been known to solve OpenCL issues with certain applications, as well as providing better native GPU power management for certain devices. These drivers are currently the only method to get full acceleration for GeForce GTX 1050, 1050 Ti, 1060, 1070, 1080, 1080 Ti, TITAN Pascal, and TITAN Xp 'Pascal' graphics cards and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750, 750 Ti, 950, 960, 970, 980, 980 Ti, and TITAN X 'Maxwell' graphics cards. There are no current Macs with these cards, so support is absent natively in macOS.
