vm-curator, a FOSS Rust TUI for Linux QEMU-KVM VMs, now supports full GPU pass-through in its v0.2.0 release for near-native GPU performance suitable for high end gaming and demanding GPU-centric workflows. This works for both NVIDIA and AMD cards (and should work with Intel as well,) and it can create and run both multi-GPU and single-GPU setups!
Testers and feedback are wanted very much: I only have one hardware configuration I can test on, and I'd be grateful for anyone to try it and report their experience--especially for multi-gpu pass-through (as I can only test single at this time.)

I currently dualboot to play some non-Wine compatible Windows games with GPU. My host is Linux and I only have one GPU. Would this enable me to have a Windows guest with GPU support on demand? If yes, I'll beta test!

  Hi! Yes, it absolutely will. The only caveat with single-gpu-passthrough is that when you are passing your gpu to the VM, you can only use the VM with your main display and peripherals. (The host is still accessible via SSH.) When you shut down your VM, the host returns automatically.
  In the "i can only sort of use one OS at a time" sense, it is like dual booting, but the transition is much faster (since there is no reboot required) and, as mentioned, your host doesn't really go away (you can still SSH into it from another PC on your network.)
