VNC/RDP/X2Go gaming in VM?

I can't Google for this because it seems people only ever ask this question about actually doing it over a physical ethernet connection, which, of course, can't handle it super well.

I have two VMs that use a real video card for amazing gaming performance (in QEMU/KVM). One is Arch, and the other is Windows 10. Currently, I'm getting their displays through the HDMI port of that real video card, but I want to try to stream them into my host's display so I don't have to keep switching my screen and keyboard/mouse over (even if I have convenient switches for that). Since Steam can stream games pretty well over a network, I'd imagine it MUST be doable to stream a whole desktop (so that I get non-steam games, too) over a virtual bridge? Right now, for the Linux guest, I have X2Go set up, but I can't get decent performance out of it when I connect to the already-running local desktop. At least, not with the methods it has in that dropdown list. I feel like if there was something like "100m-jpeg" instead of 16, it would work better. Surely, I don't need such a low cap on my bandwidth as 16m (the maximum option) if it's not even going through an actual cable?

I already set the VMs up to have networking with the host properly. They both share folders and everything. This question doesn't need help with that part.
