Cause is yes i better units it cause i allready has install windows 10 on external tb ssd with bootcamp.
 
There would only be a possible effect if you are running Windows 10 at the same time. Just pause or shut down windows when you want to play your game to ensure you have full resources available.

That's the answer, thanks.
 
You could pause the virtuel machine in Fusion, while playing. It will not use cpu the and you can quickly resume without booting windows, but memory will still be allocated. Whether that is affecting your OSX gaming performance, depends on how much you have allocated to the virtual machine and how much memory you have installed in your machine.
