Parallels etc question

[Trusteft]

I have never used any of these visualization software. I was wondering how much of a performance drop should one expect when they run it to play a Windows game under say Windows 8.1, or Windows XP or something.

Is it even realistically possible to play games at decent (at least 30fps) speeds when we are talking about 3D games?

I realize it probably depends on what Mac you are using, but still I would like an idea.

I would say that game playing in a virtualized environment is probably not the best for most types of games.

That sounds painful.
