Optimized for gaming?

[MaheerA]

i'm running Windows 10 with parallel desktop 10 and I'm quite disappointed performance wise.

I have a late 2013 IMac, fully maxed out:
Intel i7 quad core @ 3.5ghz
Nvidia Gtx 780m with 4gb of vram
32 gb of ram

And with those specs, that is much more than enough. I am expecting parallels to do decently well when I run games but I'm very disappointed, my games lag so much. Does anyone have a recommended setup for the Virtual Machine settings for Windows 10?

If you need a reference to the games I play (and honestly if I can run the game in lowest settings with 40 fps I'm perfectly fine)

GTA V
Saints row 4
Dead island (+riptide)
Skyrim

I honestly thought saints row would work but no, it is extremely laggy. Again I believe this is my current set up but all I am asking is for recommendations on how you guys make your games run smoothly?

You can check for the game's recommended specs in steam and compare it with mine. I included some screen shots of GTA V's recommended specs: (as you can see, my Mac should be more than enough to run this)
