Win games in Parallels 8

How good do Windows games play on MAC OS-X with Parallel's Desk Top? Frame rates etc.

Thanks in advance.

Best gaming is via BootCamp with 64bit Windows 7.

I've never found it very good - mainly because the VM doesn't have full access to the video card. If you are interested in gaming with Windows you are much better served by dual booting with bootcamp. You can always point to the bootcamp partition with Parallels - if you want to do something on Windows without rebooting.

It mainly depends on machine - and how low and un-detailed you are willing to put up with. I didn't write down any numbers on my setup but I had a 2009 MBP.

Here is some info on benchmarking Parallels 8 to give you an idea - but they are running a Mac Pro

edit: too slow (I should make this my signature)

I originally Bootcamped my iMAC but deleted the partition thinking I could get along with just OS-X, since I own a 64bit Win7 Home Premium version guess I'll just Bootcamp it again.

Thanks
