Settings for Steam Game Playing

Hi guys,

I'm running VMware Fusion 10.1.2

on an iMac 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7 

32GB 1600 MHz DDR3 

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB

I'd like to play a few Windows only games from STEAM. I have Windows 10 installed with VMware. The games will be Action Platform Games, so not real demanding. Think the Nintendo Switch's new game, 'Super Mario Odyssey'.

Wondering if anyone can assist me with the Virtual Machine settings to get the most out of my limited gaming experience.

Simple... Make sure VMware Tools is installed.

Enable 3D Hardware Acceleration in the VM Settings > Display

Set the max 2GB of vRAM.

For the VM's CPU/RAM, use 2 CPU and 8-16GB of RAM, tweak as necessary.

I've got my settings set as specified here and when I try to run Gloomhaven in Steam on Windows 10. All screens are diagonally chopped off as shown in the example attachment. It is completely unusable. Any suggestions?
