World of Warcraft is lagging

My PC is does not have the latest hardware. But thing is when I was running Windows I could tweak it and set it to lowest performance and the game was running just fine. But it dose not seem to work in Ubuntu. Also one thing, when I switch to desktop, and go back to the game, the freeze.

What am I doing wrong

Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ × 2

  1. Use the latest Nvidia drivers

  3. Create a new key

      New > Key

    • Use the name

  5. Use OpenGL

    • Open the file ~/.wine/drive_c/Programme/World of Warcraft/WTF/

      nano ~/.wine/drive_c/Programme/World of Warcraft/WTF/Config.wtf 
      
    • Add the line

      SET gxApi "opengl"

      SET ffxGlow "0"
      
  6. Configure wine

      winecfg
