Hey Guys, After my recent Windows 10 crash (installed as a bootcamp partition) I decided to use parallels for my new installation. I First installed bootcamp again, before installing parallels since I like to use the full performance of my macbook when rendering or 3D drawing on windows. Problem is programs like solidworks and Keyshot are way slower when using my bootcamp partition than if i would be using Parallels, which is strange since parallels needs to devide power between mac and windows. Did Parallels change some settings on windows to decrease its performance when in bootcamp mode? I hope someone can help me out. Thanks in advance guys
Hello RobinW2, could you please let us know the RAM(Memory) and CPU allocated for the Boot Camp virtual machine? and Are you using a Parallels Desktop Standard Version or Pro or Business Edition?. Thanks, Shathish
Yes ofcourse, I've got a Macbook Pro (2012) with: 2,5 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 Memory, an 500 GB SSD an Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB graphics card. As i previously mentioned it al worked perfectly fine before the crash and i've also tested solidworks before installing Parallels, which worked great. Since I did noticed sometimes I ran out of RAM during rendering/simulating, I've upgraded it yesterday to 16GB 1600 MHZ, but that didn't solve the issue, the macbook is just a bit faster. I've installed the desktop standard version and since yesterday i've now allocated 2 processors and now 12000MB of RAM, the videocard settings are currently set at 1020mb. BTW, other programs like google chrome and just windows in general are working quite well in both parallels and bootcamp mode. Thanks again.
