I understand Dialux's position on MacOS...

I would be very grateful for feedback from all you out there who may be using Dialux via a Parallels VM with Windows 11 on a Mac with the M-series processors.

I have been running Dialux Evo for some years now on a 2019 Intel based MacBook Pro, very successfully within a Windows 10 Parallels virtual machine configured for 8-CPU 16GB RAM 4GB Video RAM.

I recently upgraded to a new M3 Max/Parallels 19/Windows 11 Pro. Problem free installation and appears to work excellently.

I started doing some benchmarks...obviously the same project run on both machines...

This, by rights, should be significantly quicker on the M3Max, which it is by nearly 30% when raytracing but alas it is nearly 30% slower when doing the lighting calcs...

I am posting on the parallels support site to see if there is feedback from them.

Very happy to link directly

Thank you all so much in advance
