Yes, that had occurred to me. A VM is not the best choice on which to run games. Windows is still ahead of Linux at this point as a gaming OS; although, I haven't seen any benchmark/comparison. It is my understanding that the windows NVIDIA driver is more mature for SLI, etc, than is the Linux NVIDIA driver, and the windows (OS) will yield more FPS, (eg Frames per Second) and greater SLI functionality under windows than the Linux OS with a NVIDIA driver.
I would rather host VM(s) under the Linux OS and have all my web stuff under the safer Linux OS, (eg web browser, email clients, etc), and only run applications that are not available under Linux/Unix in a Windows VM guest, but if I were a gamer, I would reverse it and host the guest OS(s) on Windows, so I could run games natively.
