We are running ESXi 6.7 and the decision to upgrade to 7.0 depends on several factors. We are running 50 VMs, 35 of them Windows 2019 and the rest various flavors of Linux. We also have a small VDI setup using Horizon to present 160 Windows 10 desktops that have GPUs via nVidia grid cards. In our situation, are there compelling reasons to upgrade to ESXi 7.0? Our hardware compliment of HPE DL380 Gen10s and Nimble Storage can be used with ESXi 7.

Hi,
the Dl380 Gen 10 is compatible with Esxi 7.0

If there are no malfunctions that warrant an update, I would avoid the update. Like all newly released products, it is not a good rule to put them in the production environment immediately. Wait at least for the exit of the U1.

I did see this article
I know there are a bunch of other improvements in ESXi 7. I guess what I am looking for are people who have made the jump and felt it was worth it
Yes good advice. If we do upgrade we will wait until the first major update is released
