mks.enableDX11Renderer
When 3D accelerated graphics is enabled in Workstation 12/14/15 the default value is "TRUE" (i.e. the line does not have to be present in the vmx file), VMware Workstation uses DX11 of the Windows host to deliver the DX10/OpenGL 3.3 core profile capability inside the VMs. For Linux hosts, the equivalent is mks.enableGLRenderer = "TRUE"
mks.enableD3DRenderer
Default is "FALSE" from Workstation 12.x and later. This is only useful in version 12.x if the host graphics card does not have DX11 capability and setting this to TRUE and enableDX11Renderer to FALSE let the VM have some limited 3D accelerated graphics capability. This looks like is already ineffective in version 14/15.
mks.dx11.vendorID
valid values are the vendor ID of the graphic card, 0x8086 for Intel, 0x10DE for Nvidia, 0x1002 for AMD.
If this line is not present, VMware Workstation will use the default graphic card of the Windows host system. This line is useful if the system has two graphic cards from two different vendors that are simultaneously active on the host machine (example: Intel integrated graphics in the CPU and a discrete graphics card from Nvidia or AMD).
SMBIOS.reflectHost
Default is "FALSE". If set to "TRUE" some of the DMI info will use the host values (example: manufacturer will change from VMware to the host value). You can see this difference by using msinfo32 in Windows VM or dmidecode in Linux VM. This is not so useful anymore to hide the fact that the VM is a VM.
vmx.buildType
Valid values are "release" and "debug". The "debug" is the default for the beta versions (aka Tech Preview). When set to "debug", vmware-vmx-debug.exe will be used instead of vmware-vmx.exe and the vmware.log file will be larger.
