    Hello,

    Cinebench won't benchmark gpu when running in windows 11 pro, on paralells 20, on macbook m4 max.

    GPU is not possible to test, it seems the paralells doesn't get direct access to the gpu as it doesn't ahow up in device manager.

    Has anyone found a workaround, or a gpu benchmark that works in paralells?

    Thanks,

    From my (notably recent) understanding of how Parallels works, I don't believe the 'GPU cores' on the silicon chip are actually used, but instead the RAM is utilised to create a sort of virtual GPU. It is for this reason that I don't think your GPU benchmark will work.
