title pretty much says it all, I'm wondering if it's possible to game and get somewhat decent frames in parallels. Obviously bootcamp will give best performance, but does parallels give any performance at all?
Anyone game in Parallels 7?

I only tried older titles like 2000 - 2007. It´s WAY better than CrossOver Games / Wine at least for the compatibility, at least this I can tell.
EDIT: WAIT I see it just now,there is V7 already out? Since when. I am still using 6!

Ya 7 is out, and much better gaming performance is one of the advertised things in it, So I'm just wondering if anyone has given something like dota, or COD, or SC2 a whirl.

It runs DX9 games great, most of the ones I have tried run fine on maximum settings at that. Games that require DX10 tend to be slow.

Good to know.
I think of abandoning Crossover, since I think this AND Paralles is kind of too much. And since both cost money to update iŽd rather switch to Paralles which is much more versatile.
I fed. need to use P7 more!
