If you go via BootCamp, which runs Windows bare-metal on the Mac hardware, you will be getting performance equivalent of a very decent mid to high end Windows PC. Especially since your specs correspond to the top-end MBPs that have dual GPUs. Just remember to install the BootCamp extensions immediately after installing Windows: they provide the drivers so that OS can utilize the Mac's guts to the fullest. Indispensable if you have to use Windows 10, a persnickety beast that won't run anything not-Microsoft-approved.
