So an intel CPU + discrete GPU fills the requirement?

Also novidia is known to block driver installs from a VM because “you should be using a professional GPU for that” but there are ways to trick the installer.

AMD has no such problems.

Correct, it is way easier to setup with kvm. Would highly recommend AMD cards for this over nVidia.

I'm using VMs but not for gaming, just running Linux guests on Linux host. virgl works pretty well now for that purpose. But what's really missing is SR-IOV. AMD so far didn't want to support it in regular cards.
