    You are not alone. I have had the exact same symptoms. Wanted to
    build a "gaming" machine with two seats for playing Heroes of the
    Storm. Performance was bad. Very low fps especially in fights. No
    difference between low and high graphic settings. <br>
    <br>
    Nevertheless, graphic benchmarks, like 3D mark, certified a very
    good GPU performance: [1] VM, [2] Native (Yes, the VM performs 
    slightly better). There, you can also see my system specs. I suppose
    this is some kind of CPU scaling problem in HotS. :-/<br>
    <br>
    I'm very interested if you can actually find a solution :) Good
    luck!<br>

                                            your  cpu ("Haswell" in my

                                            I remember when I first
                                            tried to install Win10 under
                                            virt-manager I got a KVM
                                            error about unsupported cpu
                                            functions when I tried to
                                            clone the host cpu. Setting
                                            it to Haswell cleared those
                                            errors so this might have
                                            something to do with it.
                                            Unfortunately that didn't
                                            play nice with my video card
                                            so I ended up with a command
                                            line setup as virt-manager
