Yes you can with PCI passthrough.
In fact, if your processors, motherboards and graphics cards support VT-d
then your graphics card can be shared across upto 12 virtual machines.
Standard PCI passthrough has been supported for quite a while in the KVM
stack.
I know a lot of design people that use virtualised design environments on
chunky servers sat in racks. Its quite easy to set up for a basic
implementation.
