Windows RDP: what is the most robust graphics application?

I use RDP to connect to a Windows 7 box on a LAN in order to run QuickBooks.

If I connect from a Windows box using Microsoft RDP, QuickBooks runs as if it was on my desktop. When I connect from my Arch desktop, using Remmia, for example, I must lower the color depth to 16bpp to keep the QuickBooks GUI from blocking and tearing. It functions fine, but it looks nasty.

Has anyone found a RDP application that delivers graphics performance on par with Windows RDP? Thanks in advance for you help!

I'm using https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=freerdp until something better comes along.

Thanks. As I mentioned, I'm using Remmina, and FreeRDP is one of its dependencies. I was hoping to find an app that provided better graphics. Since they're both based on RDP released under the Apache license, maybe we're using the best available already.

graphics in RDP connection heavily depends of server (windows side) settings.
