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.

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. :-/

I'm very interested if you can actually find a solution :) Good luck!

I will try later with sc2.

I do play in ultra, as changing from this to low makes no differences =)
The game works, no visual glitches. But it's performance is much more lower than it should be...

    Honestly, with the msrs ignore I got the game to work fine.
    Running on ultra settings with no issue. This might not be an msrs
    issue. Try StarCraft 2, it uses the same engine and also produces
    msrs faults.

        Just for people to know it makes the card have this kind of

                    StarCraft and heroes are the two games that have
                    this problem, they are both based on the same
                    engine. Unfortunately I cannot test the cpu
                    because if I were to change my cpu to anything but
                    "host" my machine will not boot (I believe this is
                    due to a problem with the AMD drivers).

                    I believe the MSRs are called by Windows 10, since
                    they are privileged registers. Likely for
                    debugging purposes here.

                    I would suggest trying something more related tou
                    your  cpu ("Haswell" in my case) instead of
                    "core2duo". 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 setup refused to load AMD
                    drivers.

                    Hope this helps.

                        My 2c: I had the same issues with StarCraft
                        crashing on Win10 due to the unsupported msrs
                        (or producing lots of logs in dmesg). On
                        Win8.1 I don't have this problem. My best
                        guess is that nvidia drivers for Win10 started
                        to use msrs unsupported by qemu. Can you
                        change your CPU to emulated core2duo and check
                        if it actually works faster and doesn't
                        produce this logging spam?

                            I also play quite much this game. Adding
                            this option makes the game "Works".

                            But for me, it is also the game with worst
                            performance. As there is a storm of
                            unsupported msr (not 1 or 2 but hundreds
                            of thousands...)

                            Do you have correct performance?  I go
                            between 120 at begging to 15 during fights.

                            Note that this is the only game making
                            such mess with msr. Other blizzard games
                            works perfectly...

                                        odd problem where 1 game
                                        (heroes of the storm) keeps
                                        giving me a BSOD
                                        whenever I try to run it in
                                        the VM under Windows 10.

                                         All other games are running
                                        fine. If I install Windows 8
                                        in the VM the game runs fine.
                                         If I boot the machine into
                                        the Windows 10 HDD directly
                                        the game runs fine.
                                        This crash occurs with both
                                        Nvidia GTX 770 and AMD Fury X.
                                        It only crashes when in VM and
                                        Windows 10.

                                        The BSOD is some form of
                                        exception. Examples that occur
                                        SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
                                        KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
                                        SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M
                                        The dump files seem to suggest
                                        a windows8 driver issue,
                                        but I can't pinpoint any
                                        faulty driver.

                                        I am running netrunner

                                    Do you have the following set in a
                                    modprobe.d conf file?

                                    options kvm ignore_msrs=1

                                    Windows BSODs are often the result
                                    of calling an unsupported MSR and
                                    not handling the exception.
                                    There's some risk to this option
                                    because zero isn't guaranteed to
                                    be a valid return for an unknown
                                    MSR, but it seems to solve a lot
                                    of problems. YMMV.
