Bootcamp will work on the latest 16" Macbook Pros with AMD Radeon Pro 5300M or preferably the 5500M. - Will Parallels/VMWare Fusion run the software?
Parallels 15 is not suggested (our software encounters delays in Parallels 15) and VMWare Fusion will not work.
Video Card Comparisons
A dedicated DirectX 11 video card with a minimum benchmark score of 4500 is required to run the software correctly. Benchmark scores show how powerful each video card is. The higher the score, the more powerful the card.
Note: Integrated cards, such as Intel cards are not supported.
Below are comparisons of video cards that meet and exceed our minimum requirements:
