I have a macbook pro with 16GB Ram, as a frequent visual studio user I installed Parallels Desktop so I can use visual studios on my mac. Whenever I open visual studios its very slow and it eventually crashes every time I try to use it.
Mac computers don’t support most Windows applications, including Visual Studio. There are similar compilers that run natively on Mac, like Xamarin Studio and Visual Studio Code. However, the easiest and most efficient method for using Visual Studio on a Mac is through use of a Parallels virtual. Running Visual Studio in Parallels for mac - problem with debugging sites sitting in os x drive. I used a lightweight MS utility called SyncToy to push stuff out of Parallels and out to my Mac drive several times a day. Despite the high hack factor, it is working well. Parallels Desktop for Mac Pro Edition was designed for developers, web and graphic designers, power users, and other demanding pros. The addition of a Microsoft Visual Studio plug-in, which helps you test your applications across operating systems.
Is there any mac users out there who has got visual studios on Parallels desktop? or anyone who can help me with having a smooth experience with visual studio.

Go to Tools -> Options... In the Environment - General options there are a few checkboxes that Control the Visual experience in the studio.
Try different settings by disabling the Automatically adjust visual experience based on client performance to be able to manually set the hardware acceleration option.
