Unfortunate it is still essentially impossible to share consumer GPUs with multiple virtualized hosts, which limits the utility. My dream is to build one beefy server and play old games like COD via connected thin clients

Thanks to the comment above I discovered Games on Whales and just read up on the possibilities. Isn’t that exactly your usecase? It seems you can stream to multiple underpowered systems provided you have network, RAM, GPU and enough cores. It even streams to Apple TV, Chromecast etc.

No, I mean to have multiple concurrent sessions, e.g. to have friends over on laptops playing games from a centralized device

		That's exactly what Game on Whales offers It's multi seat.

Not sure if LXCs would help in that regard as I haven't used it for gaming but you can share a GPU between LXC guests and the host. I have an unprivileged LXC running in Proxmox that uses the GPU for transcoding video.

AFAIK there is no way to share a GPU between a host and multiple VMs without commercial hardware

		Thats the thing, LXC isn't a VM, its a container, so they all share the same kernel. I think its worth a shot, so I may test this.

It's possible to run vgpu with modded drivers up to, I think, RTX 2xxx series.

intels gpu supports vgpu with no extra licence
