VirtualBox offers 3D support for the client system, up to the available capabilities of the host system. This means that if you have good 3D video accelerated drivers on your host system, you can make use of it from within the client as well. I remember seeing similar 3D support in VMware as well, last time I used it. Don't know about KVM, QEMU, Xen, and others. The 3D support is often labelled as experimental, not quite perfect in all circumstances, but in general it does work. For example, I have a WinXP client under VirtualBox on a F14 host. With the Fedora-provided open source 3D drivers for my Intel graphics hardware, I am able to run and play Quake3 on the WinXP guest. It works as fast as the linux version running natively on F14. That said, I remember that one needs to jump through hoops to enable it, at least on VirtualBox. It isn't enabled by default (there is a checkbox in the graphics settings that needs to be ticked), and the VBox-provided drivers for the WinXP client need to be installed when the client is in safe-mode, if they are to work. Or something like that, I don't remember exactly. But once this is done, 3D video generally works in the client, most games work well, etc. I am almost tempted to install F15 as a client, just to see all that fuss about Gnome3 (and being a long-term KDE user, have a good laugh as well ;-) ). I probably won't have time for that, however...
