Do you have a 2nd video card/monitor/keyboard/mouse?

Set it up with a GPU pass-through for the VM and that way you can get access to the GPU.

Otherwise you are stuck with what amounts to a VGA video card, versus a "video accelerator" (old terms here).

In the works for me now, when I get a bit of time.
I tried it before but running 2 of the same card made it difficult to isolate the 2nd card to pass it off to the VM.
Going to try with one of my old R7s as the 2nd card, and maybe pull in one of my HD6750s in the 3rd/4th x16 slot (run to the 2nd and 3rd HDMI input on the 2nd TV, running the 5600 X2 on the first HDMI input.)

Also check this out:

Allows you to pass it back to the main monitor as a window.
I need to try this out as well.
