No, so it will NEVER even get close to the level of performance modern games need. VM's have their place, 3D games is not one of them.
Jesus Christ you guys. Don't you think I understand that? Have you not read a single post I've written? I already conceded it won't run brand new games. And I already said that it won't run anything that needs a standalone graphics card (like many new games do.) But you cannot deny that a VM will "play PC games on a Mac" because it will, and depending on WHAT GODDAMN GAME you want to play, it will be fine. Now, since Channing has said he wants to play new 3D racing games, I've already said that a dual boot would be the best option for him.
Now, can we drop it. Fuck me sideways with a lunchbox.
there haven't been any games released in like the past decade that don't require a hardware card. i don't count solitaire or mahjong.
