Phenom II X2 @3.1 Ghz, 4Gb RAM, GTX460SE, Ubuntu 14.04 - perfectly playable at medium settings. I`ve turned off 'Sync to VBlank' on NVidia server settings, and add
"__GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 vsync_mode=0 %command% -resx=1920 -resy=1080"
line to Steam launch option (where -resx=XXX -resy=YYY are Yours screen resolution). Also, framerate in game options, set to 'unlimited' (when set to 'smooth(something) 22-60 game is unplayable).
Game crashes when I try to rotate my chracter in main menu, but its minor issue.

I've had 9600GT before I upgrade to 460SE. It's good, stable card for Linux gaming (not every game of course) - recognized by any distro I've tried, and I have it till today - just in case :). I've played "Serious Sam" on it (low settings, about 24fps, lol), "Minecraft" and more. Upgrade CPU and "turtle" becomes hmmm... some kind of significantly faster creature :D.
@Hamish: nice CPU, have U tried "XCOM" on it?

"XCOM - Enemy Unknown" cause I was big fan of original Microprose "UFO" series.
About 280 hours in "Star Conflict", guys this game is really worth of playing (with platoon of friends and voice comm it can be awesome :D).
and:
"X3" series (Reunion, TC, AP), some time with "Shadowrun Returns" as its really good cyberpunk cRPG with brilliant "climatic" graphics and low requirements, "Don't Starve".
All of above played native on Linux, I don't have Windows partition. With 37 games in Linux Steam library, and some of latest announcements: "Darksiders", "War Thunder", "Torment: ToN", "Divinity: OS" and most important "Star Citizen" i have enough "gaming power" on my Linux machine.
The only games I've played on Wine are "Planescape: Torment", one of the greatest games ever created (can't wait "Torment: Tides Of Numenera"), "Silent Hill 2, 3" and "Il2 Sturmovik 1946". All of them works perfectly on Wine (Il2 is OpenGL app). "Planescape: Torment" works better than on modern Windows versions (7,8).
If its interesting for some1, my specs: 2 core Phenom [email protected], 4Gb RAM, GTX 460SE. As U can see, it's definitely not a modern "gaming dragon" :D
