If you have the proper drivers installed, it is my experience that linux games will out perform windows games. To determine what video card you are using please open a terminal from the menu Applications-> Accessories-> Terminal and type

lspci | grep -i vga

Please post this output of this command and we may be able to recommend the appropriate video card driver.

Thank you

Let´s check to see what driver is specified in your xorg file so type

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep -i driver

If one of the lines of output say Driver "i810" , then you are using the i810 driver

You may gain better performance by installing the intel driver instead of the i810 driver

First backup your xorg file in case you want to restore it later.

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup

Install the driver by with these commands

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get ugrade
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel

Now you must edit you /etc/X11/xorg.conf files. You must edit with root privileges so type

gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Now find the lines that says

Driver "i810"

and change it to

Driver "intel"

Save and exit, then reboot your machine

Hope this helps

There are only two drivers available for you video card the i810 and the Intel drivers. If you are disappointed with the performance of either of these drivers, I am sorry. Although Ubuntu tries to provide the best support possible for all video cards, there is a limitation due to the fact video card manufacturers restrict access to their proprietary code. Due to this fact, if you are unsatisfied with the performance of the open source Ubuntu provided drivers or the proprietary drivers provide by you video card manufacturer, I suggest you please file a bug report with the manufacturer of you video card requesting better support for linux.

Thank you

Bug reports are fixed according to their importance (i.e severity) It might take a day or few weeks or months together to fix bugs :)
