I have the GRID K1 card, and it definitely helps with all interface smoothness in general. Scrolling pages doesn't skip anymore, dragging windows around is smoother, and switching between windows is instant. It's just a better experience overall. I haven't compared CPU usage before and after, but the whole point of the GRID card is to off-load processes from the CPU. As for the maximum resolution, I'm not sure why that setting only goes to 1920x1200, because all the documentation says maximum resolution is 4K (with 2 monitors I believe). My guess is that Horizon View simply gives the graphics control to the ESXi video driver, so it can't force a resolution setting. My Horizon Manager also shows 1920x1200, yet I'm currently sitting in front of an Apple monitor with my VDI fullscreen at 2560x1440, using Blast with GRID acceleration. (I haven't tested 4K because I don't have a 4K monitor) Also, nvidia has a neat little widget so you can view what processes are currently being offloaded to the GPU. So far I've seen all the browsers, Office, Acrobat
