No GPU found when running Parallels on Mac Studio

[TJ82]

Installed Parallels yesterday to try running a game on it and I get the error message saying no GPU is found. Seems Parallels use their own drivers etc. Anyone has this issue on the Studio?

Parallels requires an x86 (intel) instruction set and will not run on Mac with M1 chips.

Parallels is running fine...

I use it to run x86 apps in Win 11 on my Studio with M1 Ultra. Works great.

Sorry, it was Windoze. Windoze 11 now has an ARM version, previous versions do not.

The game is probably looking for a compatible graphics card and the one that W11 on Parallels presents isn't suitable.

What game is it? Check out Applegamingwiki to see if it's listed and tested.

Parallels doesn't emulate a discrete GPU, you're out of luck if the game requires it.

I believe the beta requires a DirectX 12 GPU, which is not what gets virtualized in Parallels. Game performance would likely be terrible even if there were a virtual DX12 GPU.

You should have bought the one with the GPU option...

Any update on this? It is so sad that the blizzard monkeys decided to not support Diablo randomly.. especially when there is a growing base of Mac customers and better graphics

Diablo IV uses DirectX 11, which is supported by Parallels Desktop.

Where did you get that idea from?

DX12 is listed for minimum requirements

You are correct. I read it on another site that was wrong. Should have checked the Blizzard site.
Neither Parallels Desktop nor Codeweaver's Crossover supports it yet.
