And since iMac screen is retina, you will likely want to adjust DPI scaling to something larger than 125%. The problems about small icons, etc… probably come from DPI scaling, which is not fully supported by 3dsMax yet, so if you use different than 100% DPI scaling in Windows, some apps may run wrong. But that’s about it.Īnyone who says that 3ds Max runs bad on any of these Windows version has probably messed up software, drivers or hardware, but as long as software, drivers and hardware are installed correctly, there are no problems at all. There is slightly better performance of 3ds Max in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, as they both have more lightweight desktop window manager, so it doesn’t take as much performance as Window 7 Aero with all its glass effects. Especially since W7, W8 and W10 aren’t that different. I’ve used 3ds Max on Windows 7, then Windows 8 as soon as it came out, and then on Windows 10 ever since it came out.ģds Max runs equally well on all of them, and there are no problems what so ever. VMWare was very powerful and before setting up a hackintosh, I was using Mac on VMWare seamlessly. I wish to thest VMWare on the Mac when I have spare time. Currently these don’t support 64 bits so you can only use Max 2013 since it was the last x86 version of 3dsmax. I would prefer using 3dsmax in native Mac interface.Īnother way to run PC programs on the Mac is Crossover or Wine. It still worked though, with a lower amount of memory within OSX El Capitan. Windows on the other hand, uses a second GPU on this Laptop from NVidia. Only the Intel graphics was recognized so I could use Directx 9 and performance was not good as on native Windows.
It might be effective on a native macintosh, but I have tried Max 2016 on Windows10 with Parallels Desktop - on Hackintosh laptop. In my opinion I’d recommend using the latest Windows 10.Īnother option might be using virtual machines. The worst part of working with older version is, many other software stop supporting older Windows versions.Then you become forced to upgrade if you want to go on using those software. Even if you have textures in Program Files folder, that might become an additional fuss while working. This is not much of a problem but and if you don’t know about it, you may not figure out why your render servers are not kept as usual. As an example, you cannot directly modify or copy files to any of the system folders or even root of the system disk and at the simplest level, hosts file which keeps the render server names for Mental Ray distributed render, can not be saved due to such permissions within 3dsmax. Even today, the security features of Windows10 sometimes make me think Windows 7 is better. Windows 7 has been sort of official recommendation for some time.
