Hi all,

Have a hackintosh with a 1080 ti and was curious if anyone has had luck mining through Parallels Desktop or VMware running windows?

Thanks in advance.
I don't think it's going to work. To do anything with a pci(-e) device in a virtual machine (guest OS) you'll need to pass it through from the host to the guest. A few hypervisors have support for this (like esxi or xen and qemu, but I'm pretty sure something like Parallels or vmware player/workstation can't do that).
