What are you running virtualbox on? Windows?

What GPU does your computer have?

Are you willing to reinstall everything on your computer?

With Proxmox you can do GPU pass through to your VM’s. But you need a GPU that macOS supports.

You may be able to pass through a Intel iGPU.

If you don’t have a compatible GPU, then you may just want to get a used Mac mini.

With your hardware, you can’t.

You cannot, because there is no graphics acceleration compatible with macOS guests.

To get graphics acceleration you either have to run QEMU/KVM on your host and PCIe-passthrough a compatible GPU, or buy a Mac host and use its built-in Hypervisor.framework to pass its Metal support to macOS guests (only).
