And you generally won't need to, I only ever go to the host GPU if I need to do a BIOS update.
Another option to not have duplicate kb/mouse is USB controller pass through if your mobo has multiple USB controllers. Then you have one set of USB ports for your VM and one set for your host, label them and just move the kb/mouse/monitor to the host ports/gpu when you need to do something on the host.
I use this card for my host GPU just because it doesn't require active cooling. There are probably slightly cheaper cards out there or go find something used on craigslist.
wow, I've never seen a motherboard with no video out. I've always thought they were kinda silly on "gamer" boards.
I can't think of any solution other than to buy a cheap gpu. like the GT series (not gtx). or cheap amd cards.
If you search "low profile" you'll find a ton of these.
heres one similar to what i used to have: https://www.amazon.com/VisionTek-Radeon-5450-DVI-I-Graphics/dp/B01BWLMWJM/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1521405904&sr=8-3-fkmr0&keywords=asus+5450
It's not ideal, but if you don't have a video out, i don't know what else you could do...
