AFAIK neither of these '3D acceleration' modes are useful for games. To use the Nvidia drivers in the VM guest the only option is to pass the GPU card directly through to the VM. This means masking it (i.e. blacklisting) in Linux, so Linux uses your motherboard's IGP (internal graphics processor) and the VM has direct physical access to the faster GPU. The GPU cannot be shared between the host and guest systems (or between various guests, in case you're wondering). Being able to do this depends on your hardware setup. Here's a Quora article I wrote a while back which may help:

Thanks Patrick, I read that article and it was very enlightening. From what you said I may have had a lot of difficulty doing what I wanted to do.
It's definitely a project. I reckon it took me several days to get it all working (mostly in figuring out the low-level hardware stuff but others might find this easier), with several tune-ups later on to improve performance.
