No you don't.
You have your real hardware that's doing 3D (or at least in "native" mode
running X), and you have your VM which emulates a completely separate virtual
graphics card for the virtual machine.
PCI devices are always owned exclusively by a single virtual machine.
Even if you did come up with a design that was virtualization capable, that
virtualization would most likely be done at a higher level, with basic VGA
emulation done by the VM.
