Virtual hardware version 11: DirectX-level supported?

I checked "Hardware Features Available with Virtual Machine Compatibility Settings" but still can not find which DirectX-version is supported by vHW11. There is simply just "SVGA 3D hardware acceleration: yes", but nothing about version.

Can someone help me to find this information? At least for the latest vHW11 (but info for older vHW would be welcomed too)...

Edit:

As I just found out, virtual hardware version 8 supports in Windows-VM DirectX up to level 9.0. Unfortunatelly I'm not using vHW11 (due to known bug with traditional client unable to edit it), but if someone has VM with Windows7(or 8,10) running on virtual hardware 11, maybe could find it out. All that's needed is to run "dxdiag" and check value "DDI Version:" on the "Display" tab. Below is output from Windows7-VM on vHW8...
