GTA 5 startup on M1 Macbook Pro - CPU, GPU Usage and Temp

GTA 5 running on M1 Macbook Pro 8GB RAM 512 SSD in Windows 10 Pro (Arm version emulated to x86) on Parallel 16 (allocated 4GB RAM 256 SSD).

Lags here and there with CPU fan not kicking in at even 72°C

Game settings set to medium at 1920 x 1200

Turn on subtitles for the temperature change while starting up

I ordered the 16 GB variant. Will assigning 8 GB RAM to the VM help smooth things out

What steps did you follow to get the game running? Install visual c++ redistributable, direct x, and what more? I don't have that rockstar games installer. Thanks!

Thats a huge swap size. Hos much Data Writes do you have in total? (Smartmontools)

[RainySeasonMemory]

What software do you use in the menu bar (to get the temperature?)

Whenever I play GTA V on parallels on my M1 MacBook Pro, it plays at like 1fps for some reason....any possible fixes? Using medium/low graphics settings in game
