Mounting an external GPU

Bit poster
I have an NVIDIA GeForce Titan GPU mounted via thunderbolt on my Mac
In my Parallels Running Windows 10
Under
Settings: Device Manager: Display adapters: It shows
Parallels Display Adapter (WDDM)

Is there a way I can point that at the external GPU card.

that way I can GPU render from within Windows using GPU Rendering software

Many thanks

Peter

Hello Petera2,
Guest OSes in Parallels Desktop have no access to physical graphics cards present in a Mac. Instead, Parallels Display Adapter driver (which is part of Parallels Tools installation) interfaces with virtual hardware and provides 3D acceleration feature.Please refer to http://kb.parallels.com/122807 to learn more.
