Hi, I have Parallells 6 and Cinebench runs at 2FPS on a Mac Pro Nehalem with ATI Radeon 5870! Unbelievable bad. Can anyone confirm that this problem is solved in Parallells 7?

TIA

I got 14.34 FPS in CineBench using my 2006 1,1 MacPro with nVidia 8800GT GPU. Seemed pretty good in spite of my older config. This was using Parallels 7.

The upgrade to 7 is well worth the money. I get now 26,98 FPS instead of 2 FPS with my ATI Radeon 5870.

Good to hear. That's a big difference. I'm waiting to see what Fusion does in v4 before I pull the trigger on either. Currently, v3 of Fusion doesn't meet the minimum specs to run that first test in CineBench.
