What I did was run the AC Odyssey in-game benchmark, which gave less than half the framerate I get in the VM version. I'd guess that probably reflects a worst-case scenario but a brief try at the game itself convinced me it wasn't playable. Shaders would need to be recompiled for each scene, which I don't think is practical.
