Running Vanilla WoW in both Wine 1.4 and through PlayOnLinux which is using Wine 1.2.1 and performance is completely unacceptable. 3D is working fine in native Linux titles such as Bastion.
Here's what things look like with OpenGL (there's a lot of graphical corruption in terms of objects flickering, also there appears to be a log or something wedged in my character, this screenshot doesn't do a good job of showing it off):
And here's things with DirectX 9:
I have the Ubuntu provided ATI drivers on a HD6950, and I don't know why things are so bad. The game runs at vsync at 1920x1080 at max settings with AA in 3D on Windows without a problem. Oh, and 64-bit if that changes anything.
ruscour@ruscour-desktop:~$ glxgears
6996 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1399.169 FPS
7548 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1509.521 FPS
ruscour@ruscour-desktop:~$ fgl_glxgears
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
2875 frames in 5.0 seconds = 575.000 FPS
2906 frames in 5.0 seconds = 581.200 FPS
That's in Unity 3D, haven't messed too much with anything so compositing probably enabled if it's on by default.

glxinfo | grep rendering returns Yes.
If anything else is needed to help me out, just ask and I'll post it. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, like there's some 32-bit GL library I don't have or something like that, but I'm stuck so hopefully someone can give me a hand.
