"if you want compatibility and performance on games using wine, your only option for this moment is NVIDIA"
I use a AMD 7850 for one year and I can confirm that point! Even if AMD has improved a lot their Linux drivers, this is not enough.
I regurlarly report game test results to WineHQ and I coudl see Nvidia users have less compatibility/crash problem than AMD users wen running wine games.
Recently Steam Os beta needs a nvidia card... If you are a gamer on Linux, Nvidia is the card to have, for the moment.

If you have the budget, get a GTX 660, it's way better than 650/650 Ti/650 Ti Boost.

Edit:
Have modified PoL script that allow for installation from already downloaded instal files. Maybe this time it will work...
1.5.9 Works OK. (7-24 fps, but SMOOTH and PLAYABLE, so those FPS's are reported wrong probably...)
1.7.1+CSMT from PoL Works OK (maybe a bit faster, 3D works well, 2D Gui have flickering text sometimes, but always draw properly after 1-2 sec.)
Will check if 3.12 give it a boost.

And I'm not going back to Win :P (nor changing to Catalyst The Bastard )
(If anything I will play EU4 more on Steam. WoT+Wine is first game I have troubles with...)
Will check if PoL works. But first I must find a way to coax it into using full install I already downloaded.

I have AMD 5730M. Its Good GPU capable of 50FPS on Win for tweaked WoT settings (long draw distance, disabled bells & whistles). Catalyst did not work nice with wine though -> 3FPS ...
With r600g I had actually better luck few months ago (14FPS!), but I'm revisiting WoT+Wine now with recent improvements to r600g+SB, krenels ondemand governor, and wine command streamer.
The times i've dealt with AMD/Radeon on linux it's mostly been a pain in the arse =( Performance in Linux is just horrible with AMD..
Compare this to the NVidia binary blob which always just works and is on par with the Windows driver nowadays.
So:
WoT runs OK on my system on Win (or rather did 1y ago when I had Win on my hw)
WoT runs NOT OK on Catalyst (and besides r600g is better now -> vdpau...)
Have troubles with finding instruction about what winetricks install to get WoT working.
And would welcome info on tweaking WoT for wine too. (Now I know that triple buffering should be disabled...)

However AMD had improvements in lastest 4 years (I say 4 years because this time had probing wine than AMD and NVIDIA hardware, if you have interested can consult my blog: gamesonwine.blogspot.com)
On my case i think probe again AMD next year (AMD A4 3300 - IGP Radeon HD6410D) (because next year AMD free information and kernel patches stay in better form)

Originally posted by birdstream View PostI suppose you're running on intel integrated graphics then? You should really get a dedicated graphics card, preferrably NVidia. In fact, the minimum Windows system specs for this game calls for one... I don't know what kind of budget you're on, but a GT 630 should do. On my system with NVidia GTX660Ti the bottleneck is the CPU, a [email protected] (running 3.9Ghz boost mode), because the game engine is single threaded. This is why the D3D command stream patch gives a nice boost to the game since by doing all OpenGL calls from a separate thread it frees CPU time for the game engine itself...
As far as the crashes, i couldn't say, really. I do experience them myself sometimes. Maybe you should go with a stable kernel?

Originally posted by przemoli View Post1) I get constant crashes and restarts of game during torrent download if I use net install.
2) Black textures (or rather lack thereof), when I used full install. And I could not start game again. :|
Now I have fresh reinstallation of OpenSuSE with 3.12rc5 + Mesa 10 from pontostroy repos.
And 1) still presist. I'm downloading full instal atm.
And I'm using this tut:
