wine performance

It's normal that, from games that I use with wine, I get worse performance respect when I run them from windows?

Re: wine performance

Worse performance? What do you exactly mean? Lower fps rate?

Re: wine performance

yes I mean lower fps rate.
I use a 8800gts with 320mb, and driver nvidia 169.12
the test for this game (perfect world) in the appdb doesn't give performance issue, then this problem is dued to driver?

Re: wine performance

Lower performace is related to working compiz. If you use compiz, try game/3d apps without it. In other cases maybe it's driver fault or incorrect xorg config.

Re: wine performance

Just switch by fusion icon. My glxgears results (FX5500):

1. Compiz: 3304 frames in 5.0 seconds = 658.812 FPS
2. Metacity: 12258 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2451.593 FPS
