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.
