Quick question you guys...

will AWESOME MINER performance suffer if i mine it within a Virtual Machine?

I've got a powerful windows PC (1080ti) for gaming and work that i also want to use for mining but want to contain miners in Virtual Machine , installed w/ same, Win10 x64

Will Awesome Miner be less efficient? and by how many % on rough estimate?

and while we're at it, is this the same on all miners perhaps?

Your virtual machines will need direct access to the video card. Unless your virtualization software can do GPU passthrough, then the miner will not work. You might be able to do a docker container instead. I know Servethehome had some good articles on how to set this up for Monero mining, but it could be adapted for other cryptocurrencies.
