For paravirtualized hardware rendering you can use virtio-gpu. In addition to Linux, a Windows guest driver is available but it's highly experimental still and not very easy to get working.

What's the best solution for remote viewing with virtio-gpu? I vaguely recall that it had some incompatibility with spice.

I have a bunch of qemu/kvm virtual machines for various tasks. For two of them I decided that graphics performance needed to be at least OK and ended up buying and passing through old Quadro cards. It'd be lovely to not have to do that.

I don't think virtio-gpu works on SPICE. I only use it for VMs on my desktop as I can display the output on the local machine using virt-viewer.

Still the case, huh. That's unfortunate. All of my VMs run on a headless server, so my only means of use is via some form of remote desktop.
