Doc Text:	The vmware graphics driver now supports 3D acceleration in VMware Workstation 12 Previously, the vmware graphics driver in Red Hat Enterprise Linux did not support 3D acceleration in VMware Workstation 12 virtual machines (VM). As a consequence, the GNOME desktop was rendered on the host's CPU instead of the GPU. The driver has been updated to support the VMware Workstation 12 virtual graphics adapter. As a result, the GNOME desktop is now rendered using 3D acceleration.	Story Points:	---

I've confirmed in vmplayer 12 RHEL7.2 updated with the packages for 7.3 enables 3D acceleration at OpenGL 3.3 level.
