Looks interesting but I think claims of VMetal in regards of gaming are kind of bullshit. I have been looking into running windows/Linux in VM and have it full access to GPU (GPU pass through) and there are 2 major problems.
Nvidia and amd being scummy and having firmware limiters in consumer GPUs to segment their products. This should be "fixable" by modifying firmware but ... Yeah... Not very comfortable thing to do
Motherboards not having support or worse have broken implementation of iommu.
Maybe my "research" was bad. Let's hope someone will correct me.
