In this wine version most performance related issues remains equal in most games however in ubisoft titles (uplay titles) appears interesting problem have relation with uplay client

Main problem stay in new process at open uplay client named uplaywebcore.exe and impact seriously performance (in my machine consume around 20 to 25% of cpu use)

In this video (Assassins Creed Brotherhood Multiplayer) can observe performance with uplaywebcore activated (around minute 2:06 to minute 4:55) and how up performance with is desactivated (around minute 5:58 to 7:35)

In this video (Assassins Creed Brotherhood Singleplayer) can observe performance with uplaywebcore activated (around minute 2:30 to minute 3:55) and how up performance with is desactivated (around minute 7:50 to 9:25)

New Nvidia 349.12 Beta Driver Released
26 Mar 2015 at 10:29 pm UTC

Quoting: filsdHow do you guys install the latest nvidia driver?
I'm on ubuntu 14.04 and the the PPA Xorg Edgers bugs on installation. :/
In my case use manual installation .run package, using this steps

- Once downloaded driver (try uninstall (synaptic works for this) nvidia driver if stay installed, you must be have required dependencies installed before begins installation

NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-349.12.run*

*try save this file on documents user folder or main user directory, this more later easily search for file install

- Once in grub edit main entry dont recover entry (in rescatux push e key) must be appear

linux /vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx ro quiet splash $vt_handoff

*x change for your hardware (dont touch this)

- and add this

linux /vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx ro quiet splash text $vt_handoff

- after this boot with cntrl key + x (in rescatux)

- after this you must be appear in text mode and appear space for login (here must be entry login data: user - pass)

- after this use sudo apt search nouveau

- and appears xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

- and now use this sudo apt remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

- after this apt ask if you want remove this package

- once removed go to modprobe.d folder

cd /etc/modprobe.d

- after this use nano for edit blacklist.conf

sudo nano blacklist.conf

- in last line of this text add this

blacklist nouveau

- after this save changes (cntrl key + o) and exit after this (cntrl key + x)

- once stay this step use this command

sudo update-initramfs -u

- once make this step reboot machine

- and now in grub edit again main entry

linux /vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx ro quiet splash $vt_handoff

*x change for your hardware (dont touch this)

- and add this

linux /vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx ro quiet splash text $vt_handoff

- after this boot with cntrl key + x (in rescatux)

- if appears good mint logo must be appear more bigger and fonts too
and stay in text mode and appear space for login (here must be entry login data: user - pass)

- once login search go to folder when save nvidia driver installer if stay on documents user folder

- use this command

cd Documents

- after this run nvidia installer (remind you must be installed dependencies before begins this)

sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-349.12.run

- and now begins process installation, if ask for dkms support (push in no)

- when stay finish install, installer ask for install 32bit compatilibity libraries push yes

- after this appears message if you want nvidia configure x and push yes

- after installer finish and proceed to reboot and entry normally without edit main entry in grub*

*only need edit if text change stay, however if you try edit entry and dont appear text, boot stay in normal state

This method works in my case with mint 17 32bits and mint 17 64bits
