    Is anyone familiar with PC gaming on Mac via Parallels? I tried to install & play Doom 2016 on Windows10 via Parallels but couldn't start. Seems some drivers issue and because Parallels doesn't or can't do a direct GPU emulation it doesn't really work to install and update AMD drivers (I'm on latest MacBook Pro 2018).

    I wanted to avoid doing Bootcamp as that would lock me in Windows while gaming and can't quickly switch between OS'es and tasks. But seems have no choice if I want to play AAA games.

    Saw some YouTube videos that successfully played AAA titles via Parallels but seems not all games will run.

    • PC's the only way to go. I wasted so much time trying to do this a few years. Not worth the headache, imo.section_014
