Hey guys,

thought I would try and get into a little CS GO on the new Mac..but FPS issues as I suspected :(

I have the game on low res, with everything turned to low..also im on a M1 Mac mini..

Is there anything I can do to improve on this, as the lower FPS and juddering is quite unplayable for me..or is it just the way it is for Mac users..?
 
before I go ahead, the disclaimer page, states about issues, crashing, freezing etc..but its getting me paranoid now..what are the chances of this running on Parallels bricking my Mac? or is that very unlikely?
 
As you’re finding, a Mac is not a gaming machine. The M1 is a fast SoC but it’s weak compared to an average PC graphics card.

Unfortunately with the M1, Macs seem to becoming less and less suitable for gaming. Even Blizzard have forsaken them.
 
yeah, I am only looking to play basic games such as CS GO and was wondering how it would fair in Parallels..

Im not looking to play the latest AAA games, I have a Series X for most my gaming..

You can't [yet] run Windows in Parallels on an M1 Mac. Even if it becomes available, it'll be emulation, not virtualisation.

Thanks Feek, you can do a Beta program..but is it worth waiting until its mainstream? that's what im now thinking.
