Macbook pro Parallels help !

Hi everyone,

I'm using the late 2011 model macbook pro 13" base model. I would like to know if Parallels can support high end games like Diablo3, Call of duty 4 etc.., to be played on a windows installed VM.

If it does work, I don't imagine it'll run them very well. Why not just use boot camp?

it wont work very well, mainly because the graphics drivers are likely not that good and half of your resources are not available to the virtual machine depending on how many cores and how much ram you allocate to it. Bootcamp is the answer

Thanks for the reply .. The VM seems to be quite slow when I tried Dota2. Guess bootcamp is the final option.

It's entirely possible to do both, using the same partition. For light tasks, you just fire up Parallels and use Windows located on the boot camp partition. If you're planning on gaming, you reboot and run it natively.
