Usually not, at least not by default. This depends on your hardware,
virtualization technology in use, and settings. Try to search the web
for "GPU passthrough". Disclaimer: I have no experience with this.

P.S. Next time you need to post something on a new topic, please start a
new thread (send a new message to the list's posting address). Don't
"reply" to a barely relevant message, which results in the two threads
mixed up. Thanks!
