I made a post about Parallels gaming and there has been some really great info in there and some amazing community members testing:

Parallels for Gaming on M1 Pro and Max?

Hello everyone, I hope you are all as excited as I am for official launch day! I am looking for information about your experience with Parallels’ gaming performance on the M1 Pro or M1 Max. I have reviewed the list of M1 game compatibility/performance through Parallels...

Edit: @macpot I saw your frown reaction! I personally think we need ALL the gaming threads we can get, bring them on ???

Does anyone tried CS:GO?
I have just about 80fps on my 16" MBP with M1 pro.
Everything set to LOW.

Thanks, added to the first post.
What was the resolution (if you remember)?

Playing Age of Empires 4 I have in average 55 fps on my M1 Max 32 GB.
Gamming results for M1 Pro does not look good at all. Happy with M1 Max.

For what it’s worth I got around 70fps on epic settings on Fortnite on a 14” 16/16 machine. Very playable.

I do not play games on my macbook but I do keep Civ6 and Total War loaded just in case when I am up at my camp I have an itch to play something. Aside from that I have a gaming PC I rebuild every 2 years. Already started ordering my DDR5 Alder Lake stuff . That is going to be a beast.

CS: GO is getting around 70 to 80FPS on the M1 Pro 14-inch base model with all settings maxed out.

Just running on Mac (Standard) graphic setting at 1440p on M1 Pro 10 core in Limsa, the lowest FPS is 29. What you see on screen is the average and this is not even in Full-Screen mode.
