Linux KVM Continues Offering Much Better Performance Than VirtualBox

I wonder if the difference is as noticeable with a Windows guest. Unfortunately though there's no way I know of for getting desktop acceleration with qemu/KVM for D3D.

It would be great to add VMWare WS to the mix as well - however I'm not sure their EULA allows that.

Phoronix: Linux KVM Continues Offering Much Better Performance Than VirtualBox

With the release earlier this month of Oracle VirtualBox 6.0, besides running some benchmarks of its VMSVGA 3D graphics support, I also ran some basic benchmarks to see how a similarly configured VM under both VirtualBox 6.0 with Linux KVM setup via virt-manager would compare for performance as we hit the end of 2018. This quick round of Linux virtualization tests was done on the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX system.
