Mwahaha, I just had to try this.

I'm running the Crysis Benchmarking Tool in Windows 7 in Parallels 4.0.
800x600 resolution, lowest graphics settings, and no AA resulted in an AVG of 19 FPS. A lot of the images didn't show up and were replaced with a shade of light gray or blue.

This was with 1 CPU & 128MB graphics memory, 2GB RAM.
I just find this funny lol.

Genuine question here, what will improve it? more VRAM? more CPU? more RAM?

Kind Regards
 
So do I :D

However, the graphics seem borderline almost tolerable in the Benchmarking tool, however in the actual game almost nothing appears, it's all shades of gray and blue, I don't even see the model of my character!

How come :/

Kind Regards
 
Ah your probably right, I believe Parallels 5 has Shader Model 3 support, can't wait till it's out.

Kind Regards
 
I was about to seriously doubt my trust in the human race. I thought this post was about how to run crysis in parallels, but luckily your not that crazy. Some one did ask how to run GTA IV in fusion so my fears weren't total unfounded.

LOL - your computer might develop intelligence and seek revenge on you. With that much power under the hood, I would not turn my back on the Mac Pro. :)

I want a Mac Pro, and i will name it SkyNet.

Lolz :)

Nah I just thought it'd be cool if I could do it, I added it to the list in the Parallels (4? I think) forums to be tested :O
