So, it's a fair assumption that the Apple Silicon-based Macs will have reasonably powerful processors. We can assume that Apple will drive up its processor power over the years because it has such a good track record of beefing up its own processors. The development kit version released now is using a Mac mini enclosure with what's essentially an iPad inside. For our purposes, when we're talking about Windows on Arm Macs, we're talking about traditional x86 Windows, not the Windows for Arm implementation that's only available to OEMs.Īs our next caveat, we need to admit we have no idea how powerful the Apple Silicon-based Macs will be. I think I'll stick with my current setup for now.Windows, of course, is x86-based, except for the random Arm-based machine like the Surface X, which runs x86 instructions in emulation. Good to know, thanks for the feedback! I experienced similar problems with the RX 580 and it sounds like a more powerful GPU won't fix them.

APPLE BOOT CAMP VS PARALLELS 1080P

For comparison, both run 1080p ultra settings under bootcamp with 100FPS+. The other games ran, but barely maintained 60FPS with medium settings (and also had the stuttering issue). Half Life 2 achieved more than acceptable framerates (it's a 14 year old game) but it would occasionally stutter or lag, usually a pause for a second or more randomly every 30 seconds or so. While they ran performance was massively compromised. I tried out Half Life 2, Starcraft 2 & Firewatch. I definitely do not recommend it - Bootcamp (if you can get it working) is a much better experience.įor example, I mainly only want to play older or indie titles (not a massive gamer these days). Posted by: experimenting with some gaming in Parallels with my Core i5 Mac Mini and a Radeon RX5600XT only last week. I'm curious to know if anyone has gone from Boot Camp to emulation with a more powerful card and whether it lived up to their expectations, or just introduced a bunch of new headaches.

Code 12 is also not a concern, as I got yellow-banged with both the NVidia card and the AMD one, and my solution for both cards was to install Win v1709 from an old iso, backup pci.sys, update to 1903, and overwrite pci.sys with the v1709 one.

APPLE BOOT CAMP VS PARALLELS DRIVERS

I finished VC4 and Ride 3, and have read that most games run fine on AMD cards, even if the drivers aren't up to the same quality as NVidia overall. This will be extreme overkill for the settings that I run, but should eliminate any bottlenecks, even after the emulation penalty. To mitigate the performance penalty of Parallels, and especially because I often run games on the internal display, I'm thinking about picking up the successor to the RX 5700 XT when it comes out later this year. My goal is not to use Parallels for 100% of games because not all of them play nice with emulation, but to only have to use Boot Camp rarely and with a smaller partition. I have missed a few important reminders while I was playing Windows games, and it would be nice to stay within MacOS most of the time. This is a good setup, but I find myself wondering if life would be easier if I went back to an AMD card and used Parallels for most games instead of Boot Camp, which would alleviate the minor hassle of rebooting into Boot Camp and the larger headache of not having iMessage, my calendar and reminders, etc.

I started with a Radeon RX 580 4 GB so that I could use it in MacOS and Boot Camp, which worked fairly well except for show-stopping bugs in two of the games I was playing at the time (Valkyria Chronicles 4 and Ride 3), which were cured when I swapped it out for an NVidia GTX 1660 Ti.

I have a mid-2015 Macbook Pro 15" 2.5 GHz with M370X to which I added an eGPU setup a few months ago.
