As of VirtualBox 3.0: * Windows guests: ability to use Direct3D 8/9 applications / games (experimental; see chapter 4.8 of the user manual) * Support for OpenGL 2.0 for Windows, Linux and Solaris guests
Video performance has been something all the VMs have been working on. Keep in mind that there are feature differences between virtualbox-ose and virtualbox, video acceleration may be one of them. Also, you may just need to allocate more video memory to the virtual video card, the default is like 16MB. When you tried it were you using 3.0+?
