Please post the output of
xrandr --listproviders

Providers: number : 1
Provider 0: id: 0x23c cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 4 outputs: 8 associated providers: 0 name:NVIDIA-G0

The you can only create /etc/X11/xorg.conf using the nvidia gpu as primary device so external monitors will work but the vm console only displaying the text console.

how can i set the gpu as primary device ?

Create an xorg.conf

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "nvidia"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    BusID          "PCI:3:0:0"
    Option         "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
EndSection
