The right choice of VM size or CPC SKU depends on many factors, including your particular application workloads, desired quality of user experience, and cost. In general, larger and more capable GPUs offer a better user experience at a given user density. Smaller and fractional GPU sizes allow more fine-grained control over cost and quality.

By default, AVD remote sessions are rendered with the CPU and don't use available GPUs. You can enable GPU-accelerated application rendering, frame encoding, and full-screen video encoding using Microsoft Intune or Group Policy. Windows 365 Enterpise GPU sessions are provisioned by default to use GPU-acclerated H.265/HEVC hardware encoding.
