Ubuntu 12.04, Radeon HD7870 barely playable

Hi All

Attempting to run Diablo III with this combo:

Ubuntu 12.04.01 64bit
CrossOver 12.1.0
Diablo III 1.0.6.13644
Radeon HD7870 - using driver installed from amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-linux-x86.x86_64.run

With the following settings in D3:
Display: windowed
Vertial Sync: checked
Texture Quality: Low
Shadow Quality: Off
Physics: off
Clutter Denisty: off
Anti-Aliasing: unchecked
Low FX: checked

Then using Ctrl-R in game to show FPS.
Under windows on the same computer I have all setting on full and the game works flawlessly, the graphics cards doesn't even bat an eyelid. Connection is sometimes a little laggy due to playing on US server from Australia.
With this setup the game hovers around <= 20 FPS and is laggy but just playable.
I've tried setting the CPU affinity to 1 and 2 cores which seems to make no difference. (does CPU frequency scaling effect this ?)

Has anyone had any success with a simliar setup or have any additional tips or tricks that I could try.

Thanks
James
