Host OS is?? Guest OS is??

I do not believe it is possible as the graphics card is virtualized and available for passthrough -

Your video card will work just fine, with 3D functions, if the Guest OS is at least Windows 2000 (98/Me won't work) and Host is Windows too.

You just have to enable Hardware acceleration in the VM settings.

Asking again, what is your Host OS? What is the Guest OS?
What app(s)/software/game(s) do you want to run that need(s) 3D?
Note that although 3D will work, it won't appear as an NVidia or ATI/AMD card, so you can't install the NVidia GeForce drivers or AMD/ATI Radeon video drivers.

weinstein, you are wrong. 3D will work fine, although not at the full speed of the videocard. And it won't appear as a NVidia or ATI/AMD card.

But other than that, it will function as a 3D card just fine. I am not sure it will support the latest DirectX and OpenGL standards, maybe not.

what is the best way to work with graphics

What graphics?? Adobe Photoshop? Adobe Premiere? A 3D game? AutoCAD or another CAD program?
What exactly?

My Scenario is this

The End user will login to the one of our server using RDP and the client is resolution graphics is not good.

Can any one help me to sort it out.

I am not sure what nComputing L300 Series is, but if it uses DirectX based graphics, then yes, WS can use the graphics adapter on your host to accelerate graphics. In your VM, go to VM Settings -> Hardware -> Display, and make sure the "Accelerate 3D graphics" checkbox is checked. Also, make sure you have the latest version of VMware Tools installed in the guest.
