To make things better the new software supports DirectX via Apple Metal API (application programming interface) for the first time rather than OpenGL which was employed in previous versions. Parallels Desktop 17 also supports previous versions of DirectX- DirectX 9 and DirectX 10. It also supports graphics-heavy CAD/CAM applications like Autodesk Revit 2020, Autodesk 3ds Max 2020, Lumion and ArcGIS Pro just to name a few. DirectX 11 makes running graphic-intensive games, such as FIFA 19, Age of Empires, Crysis 3, Fallout, and the likes look like child’s play. The previous versions supported only DirectX 10 but the new version 17 can seamlessly run the games that you have been dying to play. In keeping with the tradition of introducing a head-turning feature with each new version, the Parallels Desktop 17 for Mac boasts of support for DirectX 11 and that is a massive addition.
Parallels Desktop 14 for Mac introduced the much anticipated Dark Mode when it released.
What’s new in Parallels Desktop 17 for Mac?Ī lot!! More than thirty new features have been added to the brand new version which I must say is a bold improvement from the previous version 14.
