I don't think that 3D acceleration works I did some test running glxgears inside the VM machine with and without running it as sudoer and I got the same fps
take a look
Running with gksudo I got no errors about 3D acceleration that seems correctly enabled in VMware Workstation prefences.
When I close the VMware Workstation program I got this error screen in the CLI ↓
RUNNING IT WITHOUT GKSUDO OR SUDO THEN WITHOUT 3D ACCELARATION THAT IS DISABLE AUTOMATICALLY BY THE VMware Workstation
And here you can see i got the same frame rate check below↓
