Hardware OpenGL while running remote desktop

Hi, I'm using remote desktop to run Matlab on another computer, which has an AMD Radeon Pro 7100 graphics card. Matlab does not use Hardware OpenGL when I remotely control this computer, and even when I type "opengl hardware" (because it's a Windows 7 machine), Matlab would still use Software OpenGL. Software OpenGL makes my calculations and graphics very slow. How can I make Matlab use Hardware OpenGL while remotely controlling this computer? Or does my AMD Radeon Pro 1700 card not allow this?

Thanks in advance for your help/suggestion.

The remote machine would need to be a Linux system, and you would need to be using an X Windows server on MS Windows.

Traditionally X Windows servers for MS Windows were commercial properties, with Hummingbird probably the best known of them. If I recall correctly, the new Windows 10 facility to handle Linux programs includes an X server possibility.

It seems that Windows 10 now support hardware rendering during RDP session (here). I tried it, and see the bluring effect on Windows 10 is back, but MATLAB still uses software rendering and cannot switch to hardware rendering. Any thoughts?

I believe chrome remote desktop uses X server and should be fairly easy for many people to use.
