How do I view my Windows 10 VM once I passthru a GPU?

I feel like this is probably a simple solution, but I'm probably just not searching the correct terms. I was able to use Unraid's built-in VNC to view my Windows 10 VM up until the moment I configured it to work with the GPU (Quadro P2000); the option goes away unless I switch back to virtual graphics. I've watched a bunch of videos and read a bunch of guides, but they always seems to skip over this step. I also have Windows 10 Home installed for my VM, so RDP is not an option. I was following Spaceinvader One's Guacamole video, but he only covers RDP for Windows PC's and VNC for a Linux VM. My VM is Windows 10 Home and I am (usually) running it on Mac OS.

Normally the vm will output to the gpu display ports which would be connected to a monitor.

 

You can add gpu as a secondary and still have virtual by clicking on green plus on left side

Would I be able to use it for GPU-optimized tasks like video encoding? I've seen some people use VM's for gaming remotely, so I imagine remote access to a Windows VM with a GPU should be an option.

nomachine installed on both the VM and the machine you are using to view it.

The GPU would show in the VM so should be avalable for workloads even if Virtual is the primary display.

Personally for my Gaming VM I have a monitor hooked directly to it (Actually a monitor on my desk and a LOOONNNGG HDMI cable running to my big screen in the TV room) and for quick jobs I use RDP to remote in.

 

I have a TDARR node running on it along with a bunch of other tools that use the GPU when I'm not using it.

 

At one point I had a miner running on it.
