Just yesterday I finally got to running actual tests of graphical performance between my host (Windows 7 Ultimate, NVIDIA GTX 950 - not top of the range :)) and guest (Windows 10 Pro running inside VMWare Workstation 15). Used "PerformanceTest 10" from Passmark. Host scored 6015, ran all benchmarks nicely. Guest scored 1645, only ran some benchmarks (due to lack of Dx12 and compute capabilities), and even those were penalized.

Virtualbox guest didn't participate in the contest, as I find graphical performance of VBox guests noticeably worse.

I must add though, that for desktop tasks VMWare Workstation performance is absolutely adequate, able to run double 2K monitors wonderfully. For gaming setup I'm personally planning to play with PCI-passthrough. The only problem is not to get lost in the tinkering, before playing any actual games :)
