ubuntu and World of Warcraft


Recommended Posts

Is anybody here that has switched to ubuntu , or any other linux distro for that matter and also is a WoW player what is the performance hit vs. windows?. This is not a flame post , this is just me trying ubuntu for a diferent experience , however the one game that still manages to cling to me is wow and i would like to play it on ubuntu aswell, so i would like to no who is it doing on ubuntu (i have found some tutorials on how i could make it to work with ubuntu by means of Wine)

This might seem like a less techincal post than most here but please if anybody can give me any information about it , or direct me to some other website that has insight about this matter (except the ubuntu forums wich i have allready found :D ) i would realy appreciate it.

It runs fine, but I loose about 5-10 fps when compared to it running on Vista, which makes some parts quite jerky - hence I play it on Windows and use Linux for work. It became very jerky when there are a lot of users and when flying. I have a good GFX card (8800 GTS) and fast connection so they weren't the issue. I also had the settings at default in Linux while maxed out in Windows.
