He said at the same performance level, which will never be achieved in linux until the GPU drivers are not fucking awful.

~3% performance loss is barely anything.

I'd say that's plenty efficient enough.

But ~3% is also what that tutorial found, and IME, is not the norm. Most other video cards that I've tried get much less than that. I'd love some kind of stats that show what the average performance difference is.

Additionally, video-card drivers are still buggy and fragile. And it's not just video cards, but wifi and sound as well.

You need 2 GPUs and one of them isn't utilised at all in the guest, so I'd say that's more than a ~3% performance loss.
This solution passes the GPU to the Windows OS, running inside the VM, so it will use the Windows GPU drivers.
