Well that’s only partial solution. My company is actually paid subscriber of VMware products. We get these for free, but they do still pay for them. Windows 8.1 is officially supported so why does it not work? I downgraded my VMware for now, but that’s not the solution I feel satisfied with.

i think that question should go to vmware devs
they control what works under what OS

Are you trying to run Windows 8.1 on the guest or host PC and what version of DirectX does your graphics card support?

Windows 8.1 is host and my 1650 super does support dx 11.1

My graphics card, the MSI GeForce GT 710 supports DirectX 11.1 also..

I'm afraid you're wrong . It's 11.0 only

Thank you for telling me. Ifound that even if the MSI GeForce GT 710, the graphics card supports level 11_0 only which unfortunately can be problematic for software titles that require either DirectX 11.1 or DirectX 12.

You're welcome ! I was in a similar position with my old GTX 780 . Even though it had B1 revision chip (that supposed to support 11.1, like on the Ti version) , Nvidia simply blocked 11.1 to meet the specs of the original GTX 780 ! What a surprise !))))  In my experience, it's very hard to find an 11.1 card in the 700 series . Titan has only 11.0 . Only the 780 "Ti" supposed to have it .
