Obviously the heapsize and dxlevel won't help LotR much, but the registry tweaks might. If you're running Compiz then temporarily disabling that while you play a game should also help. Good stuff. I'll give this stuff a shot tonight. I hope it's just as simple as something DirectX-related being messed up. The fps discrepancy seems way too high to be just down to "tweaking." Like I said, I have dual 8800GTSes and I can normally get over 80-100fps in normal CS with full eye-candy, while Wine looks like a slide-show at 800x600 with minimum settings. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, is there something to know about running SLI cards and Wine? I might try disabling one tonight to see what happens. I was also considering installing DirectX 9, but many threads and HOWTOs seemed to strongly advise against it.
