As noted in the comment by James Martin, some assumption is needed on the Markov chain, e.g., that each step of the chain can be implemented on a Turing machine in polynomial time.

The Swendsen-Wang dynamics for the (Ferromagnetic) Ising model on a complete graph $K_n$ mixes in at most $O(n^{1/4})$ iterations, see [1]. More generally, on any graph, this dynamics has polynomial mixing time [2], although the sharp exponent is not known; it is possible that the bound $O(n^{1/4})$ from [1] holds true for all graphs, but the known bounds are far greater.

The Swendsen-Wang dynamics for the Potts model on a complete graph $K_n$ has exponential mixing time at low temperatures [3].

perhaps most pertinent is the work of Alan Sly [4] that relates sampling to computational hardness.
