Guild Wars 2: Unplayable FPS

[zombiewithlasers]

I just installed GW2, and have been trying to play it, but I can't get over 12fps. I am using the dx9single tag.

Specs:
i7 3930k
32GB RAM @1600
Radeon HD 7970 - Catalyst 12.8
Monitor Res. 1920x1080 @ 75hz
Wine 1.5.17
Gentoo

There is no clear reason why it should be running as poorly as it is, so I am assuming there is some tweaking that needs to be done, but the only setting that I have seen online that impacts performance is -dx9single. There doesn't seem to be any discussion on anything else. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas? Am I missing someting obvious?

try this

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D]
"DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl"
"FixedVShaderLimit"="1440" (Look Your GPU)
"SafeVsConsts"="disabled"
"UseGLSL"="enable"
"VideoDriver"="ati2dvag.dll"
"VideoMemorySize"="1024" (Look Your GPU)
"VideoPCIDeviceID"="0x6899" (Look Your GPU)
"VideoPCIVendorID"="0x1002" (Look Your GPU)

Thanks. That definitely helped, but it is still only getting 20fps on the lowest settings. Does anyone have an explanation as to why it runs this badly?
