I am actually surprised you were even able to activate the license in such a setup 😉

Which version of 3ds Max are you using?

And have you tried the different graphics modes of 3ds Max? Maybe there is one that works better in Parallels?

I don't know about Macs, but for virtual machines on other hosts (Win, Linux) some have the ability to provide something called GPU pass-through, which allows the guest OS to directly access the GPU of the host. This is the best I could find with a quick search, but maybe this is something you can ask Parallels for?
