These can increase the performance of your graphics card even further, but beware-they may break functionality like the ability to change the brightness of your display. Fusion 13 Pro and Player support running VMs on macOS 12 Monterey or macOS 13 Ventura, on Intel or Apple Silicon Macs. Mac users can install Windows on their computers by using Bootcamp in older Macs, but with the new Apple Silicon M1 Macs, you can't do this anymore.

Parallels Desktop All the Boot Camp benefits PLUS: Run Windows and macOS without restarting. Mac computers with M1 chip (Apple Silicon) are not supported. You'll most likely lose a few hours of battery life running Windows-with some reports of a 50% reduction in battery life. Redistribute space between Boot Camp and Mac volumes in minutes.

Windows, designed to run on lots of different hardware, is nowhere near as optimized, and it shows. However, on the downside, if you use a MacBook, you may see some reductions in battery life and loss of functionality with your trackpad, as Apple designed it to work with macOS. That's because, generally speaking, a lot of games are written for Windows first and will often use DirectX (a Microsoft technology) the same games on macOS will have to make do with different technology, OpenGL, which is cross-platform and well-supported but generally less efficient resulting in lower performance.
