The game loads and runs fine but as soon as I finished the beginning tutorial part and arrived in the city it became unplayable due to how bad the graphics are. I suppose I could try cranking everything down. Here's the card I'm using..is it just grossly underpowered?
Geforce 8800 GT (512MB PCI-E)
Your GPU is actually in the recommended system specs for this title so it's not that. On my GTX 260 I can't say that I was impressed by the game's performance either.
Here's the relevant winehq discussion page:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=27906&iTestingId=79676
I'd take the "It runs great" statements from that page with a grain of salt. It's winehq's AppDB after all which means fanboy territory and exaggerated ratings.
The performance is fine, but I would up the GPU a bit. Its mediocre on my son's GTX260 1GB, flawless on my 560ti 2GB. I think its one of those games that wine works a bit slower.
Ordered a 650Ti Boost which should be here any day now (about $130 on NewEgg). Supposed to be about 3x faster than my old 8800 GT according to nVidia's site. Hope so. The game is definitely playable but painfully choppy in highly populated areas. Even at it's best it isn't all that smooth.
I played the game on Windows 7 and now/later in Crossover on the same hardware.
Quad Core i7 and AMD 6970M
Even though I like the project etc. there is absolut no difference in performance between Windows 7 and Fedora 20. I can play smoothly with a few tweaks in the graphics settings, but I did the same on Windows when I played in Alpha/Beta/Release etc.
At the moment with 'moderate settings' I have ~60fps which is the limit of the monitor refreshrate using the open source Radeon driver.
No idea about Nvidia...
