There are two main choices with VNC: a VNC-specific X server (Xvnc) which
doesn't need or use video hardware, or a VNC add-on to a real X server
(x11vnc). With the latter, you get whatever hardware acceleration your
real X server provides. However, you're still transferring raster data
over the network, which can be taxing for applications performing
continuous display updates.
