Can either use:
* VGA assignment
---> has issues with intel host gfx (need modified kernel, etc)

or

* OVMF (UEFI for VM)
http://vfio.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/primary-graphics-assignment-without-vga.html
---> need GFX card with UEFI rom (most newer cards support it)
-------- check: http://vfio.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/does-my-graphics-card-rom-support-efi.html
---> need UEFI guest and host (win 8 or later)
