3D Performance

Does anyone have any benchmarks for 3D performance in a Windows guest? Currently I use Crossover Games to play my 3D Steam games. I was wondering how the 3D performance would compare in VBox. Maybe I can give it a shot this weekend.

i was right there with you wondering about World of Warcraft performance over Wine... im guessing worse, since WoW supports OpenGL, and this is emulated over OpenGL.. *shrugs*

i think it's best to stick with crossover for you, and wine for me. ;-)
