I haven't tried it myself, but there's a bit of info on the /g/ wiki with a hardware database linked at the bottom.

I've used PCI passthrough with VMWare ESXi. It's good when it works, but when it doesn't, you're out of luck. I doubt GP will have much luck with VMs once it gets to 3d acceleration.

GPU passthrough with qemu/kvm works spectacularly to 3D applications, I've been using it for years to play Windows only games from my linux desktop.
