Headless PC. Who does the graphics?

[Gobbledegeek]

huh?!  If I run a 3d app on Xvnc server, it will exploit the graphics
capability on its platform GPU then push it to vnc client. Which of
these gpu computation cycles are really useful when done on a remote
machine in the back-end as compared to a GPU having a monitor
attached?  Thats all I want to be enlightened on.. that was the core
doubt I had when I posted...
