World of Warcraft MoP 5.0.x, openSUSE 12.2 x86_64 & Wine 1.5.x very low FPS on decent hardware

Passthrough Xen with dedicated GPU is as close as to native performance as you’re going to get, we’re talking almost 100% native speeds because the underlying OS uses the GPU directly (hence it’s called passthrough) - however you need 2 GPUs for that to work.

Tested it with a 680x2 and… let’s just say, it’s fast :slight_smile:

It’s pointless to install 32bit version unless you have old hardware. openSUSE comes with multiarchitecturs and so does wine. When you run WINE on 64bit system you should first define a prefix and its architecture eg.:

export WINEPREFIX=/home/xxx/wineprefixes/wow32
export WINEARCH=win32
winecfg (and choose win7)
