special settings for p5B-VM mainboard?

[hereiam]

Hi there,

I use P5B-VM mainboard with on baord GPU from manufacturer ASUS.

Does anybody know if I have to set special settings in wine to play 3D games or older games like ANNO 1503?

Especially Anno 1503 can be started but if the details are set to "high" it works very slow. Or could it be that this GPU "Integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3000 (Intel® GMA X3000)" is too weak for this game?

regards

Intel's Linux drivers are very poor. Even if this game works on that hardware in Windows, there are likely to be problems in Wine because of the graphics driver. NVidia has the best Linux support.

Intel drivers support basic functions in Linux. Wine stress-tests these functions in manners that the driver creators never envisioned. Yes, nVidia drivers are the best for Linux/Wine, for now. It is recommended that you get a later model nVidia card, if you system will accept one and if you are not using a laptop/netbook.
