Graphics Accelleration for Guests

We have a need at my workplace for 4 to 6 users to perform some graphics intensive work, but do it from a standard midrange laptops running Windows 7.

Some people here are thinking of using Horizon View for this purpose.

That seems to me like a lot of cost and complexity for a handful of users.

Is it possible to just slap a decent graphics card in an HP DL360, install ESXi 6.5 and have 4 to 6 guest VM's leverage the graphics card in the ESXi host?

I'm open to any and all suggestions.

Thanks.

((( Optional )))

NVIDIA GRID vGPU gets you the full benefit of NVIDIA hardware-accelerated graphics to virtualized solutions.

The vGPU Manager is a software on an ESXi host that makes the whole magic, it's a link between the GPU and the virtual desktop. I am not sure if your HP DL360 server will handle the NVIDIA GRID vGPU option but Carefully follow VMware all relevant best practice & VMware Hardware Requirements.
