However, I was unsuccessful when I tried this to get the Unigine’s Superposition benchmark to run. One potential option is to use the Direct X Control Panel (dxcpl.exe) utility that comes with the Windows SDK ( download site) to limit an application to a specific DX level of support. You can only run games that use DirectX 11, or if it has the option to only use DirectX 11 in its settings. The short answer to this is that it would just crash upon loading. I’ve tried to run a few games that required or uses DirectX 12.

This is regardless when I run Fallout 4 at Ultra settings with a 720p, 1080p or 1440p resolutions. But when it’s Auto, the framerates hovers around 20-30 fps. However, whenever I change this setting, either to 1GB or something lower like 256MB, the framerates drop to 3-5 fps whenever there is a lot of NPCs around. The stuttering still happens as you will see in the video above. The best performance I can get out of Fallout 4 without installing any performance mods or custom tweaking is to set the Parallels’ Graphics Memory to Auto. Parallels Desktop does a lot of magic with their Auto settings. It now seems that I was somewhat wrong in my initial assessment in the previous update.
#PARALLELS FOR MAC RUN WINDOWS 16 UPDATE#
Update 2: I messed around the settings a lot more now.
Perhaps this can be further fixed with some tweaks within the game’s settings or installing some of the performance mods available for the game. When playing the early parts of the game when you’re in Vault 111, the performance wasn’t too bad, averaging at about 30fps. Update: It seems that the stuttering is only really bad when there is a high number of NPCs within the player’s field of view (FOV), even when they are quite a distance away and hidden behind other objects like walls. More updates on this once I get some more time into the game. I’m not sure and would probably try to see if there are any other settings I can adjust to get better performance.Īnd considering that the combat system on Fallout 4 isn’t turn-based, I’m not sure if continual freezing is going to allow it to be playable. It feels like this is being caused by some I/O issues or bottleneck.
And considering that the performance is similar when the game is set at and at, I’m not sure what is causing all the freezing in the game. From the video recording above, you can see that the eGPU can handle everything that is being thrown at it. I would have to really get somewhat deeper into the game before I can fully judge it. This is about 1/3 of the performance when the Valley benchmark runs natively on macOS.Īs you have seen, I’m not sure it if would be really playable. It seems that it would is at an average of 25-30fps. I ran the benchmark both at 1440p as well as the Extreme HD preset. So, I used Unigine Valley and 3DMark 11 to showcase how well Parallels handles 3D rendering with an eGPU setup. Do note that DirectX 11 is actually rather dated in the Windows world. To start, I ran a couple of popular benchmarks that was made for DirectX 11. How does Windows games really perform on a Mac with Parallels? Auto installation of Windows on Parallels MacĪs you can see, the installation of the Windows VM is a trivial and painless process.Automatic activation of valid license keys!.

It would also ask you for the license key as Parallels can also help you activate your Windows install.
You can also then customise the pre-set configurations as well. The Installation Assistant will then guide you through some configurations, such as your main use of the Windows OS to pre-set some key configurations that would work best for your use.

Once Parallels Desktop is installed, you would see the Installation Assistant where you can start to install the Windows 10 VM or any other OS that you prefer. Installation of both Parallels Desktop and the Windows 10 VM is a breeze. Installing Parallels Desktop and the Windows 10 VM So when I found out that Parallels Desktop 15 and 16 had support for DirectX 11, I got quite excited. One of it is the Fallout Series, specifically Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4. That’s why I have gotten myself an eGPU upgrade.īut there are a few Windows games that I would really want to get my hands on. Thankfully, most of the games I want to play have releases for the macOS, mostly turn-based strategies like XCOM and RPGs like Divinity: Original Sin. You would also know that I game from time to time.

That’s why I’ve stuck with my MacBook Pro all these while. It is the OS that is keeping me on an Apple hardware. If you’ve read some of my other blog posts here, you will know that I’m a big fan of macOS. Playing Windows games on the Mac? With Parallels?
