I am currently working with Dell, NVIDIA, and Citrix to benchmark SolidWorks (2013) in a Citrix environment.
A faulty GRID video card in our test box is slowing down testing. Without a GRID video card, I do not recommend it at all. Testing of this new video card has not yet produced successful results, so I can't recommend that, either. Testing will continue and hopefuly these problems can be resolved.

If you think switching from a desktop to a Citrix system is going to improve graphics, then you are in for quite a surprise.
I just completed my testing of SW 2011 on a 2008 server running Remote App service so I did not have to make any users upgrade to test it. The video performance left something to be desired, but I have a feeling the same video performance issue would happen with Citrix.
It worked out great just to be sure the actual data function would work like upgrading the parts, design tables, etc.
