No, you can't. None of the above support all aspects of DirectX. And whatever is supported is at least 25% slower then native.

Not even close, other then both have something to do with 3D graphics (DX is more then just graphics btw).

Wine _implements_ DirectX over OpenGL (note this James, not translates calls, _implements_). The difference is the same as asking Google to translate some Russian poetry to English. Will you get the meaning? Yes. Will you get the poetry? No.
