IMO the graphics performance when running macOS Big Sur VMs under Fusion is better but still atrocious. Not anything like a native experience.

Not sure about Parallels.

3D acceleration is not enabled by default for macOS Big Sur in VMware Fusion because it's not considered stable yet. It's possible to activate by tweaking the vmx file: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/81657

In Parallels it's on by default but you need to allocate a lot of RAM to the VM: https://kb.parallels.com/en/125105#section6
