If you can pass thru a Video card / GPU to the guest (you need to set iommax=on for INTEL or equivalent for AMD processors in the HOST machines real hardware BIOS) to enable video / GPU pass thru.
With a single GPU -- No Idea though. Depends on what your main hardware is -- a load of those great "Mini-PC's" have 2 HDMI separate video outputs (4K UHD as well).

@Rad25
the IOMMAX parameter is for the PROCESSOR (CPU) which you will need to set in addition to :
Hyper-V GPU Passthrough: A Beginner’s Guide
Hyper-V GPU passthrough allows VMs to access the host’s GPU directly. Configure it to enable using a physical video card in a VM’s guest operating system.

It is debatable if the benefit of 3D acceleration in Hyper-V outweighs the general performance of a Hyper-V vm anyway.
IMO it is easier just to install OS is a native boot vhdx drive (not in a vm) and this wiull be much faster anyeway, and easier to use 3d acceleration.

Agree on the whole -- depends on your hardware though !!!.
Now that native boot vhdx works you can have a load of special dedixated W11 installs for dedicated tasks if that's what you need. I have 1 dedicated entirely for photoshop. I use a load of Mini PC's now so these things which usually have internal NVME's installed as their "HDD;s" make this efficient and simple.
I also use Linux for a load of tasks --running from HYPER-V these days -- especially as EXTERNAL switch works even with Wifi NICs I 'm happy also with that -- BTW if you use Winntsetup.exe to install Windows it can install the whole thing (even latest Canary builds on any device - even external - by its use of dism /ApplyImage and using bootsect to create the boot loader -- since latest Canary bootloader via bcdboot.exe can create problems with encryption / other protection stuff).
(Note leave enough free space on part of the vhdx file on the drive where the min vhdx file is stored on for installing Windows -- to avoid the nag after boot "Temporary paging file created on drive xxx". Leave enough space for a paging file on it).
