Majority of the C.P.U comes up with the INTEL integrated graphics card.
No CPU comes with integrated GPU (yet). Most (all?) Intel-based motherboards (including those for laptops) that have integrated graphics use Intel-brand graphics. This does not constitute "most" motherboards, as there are no Intel-brand GPUs on AMD CPU-compatible motherboards, and there are even Intel CPU-compatible motherboards that have nVidia graphics chips.
We all very well know that their Linux driver lack most of the modern 3D bits. But most of the user do not know about that. They just get frustrated with WINE.
Also make sure the the hardware supports the "missing" features. Intel cards are designed to be integrated into motherboards, not to compete with high-end nVidia or AMD/ATI discrete cards.
Some DirectX 7 games runs very well in nVidia graphics card but not in INTEL. Same thing is for some DirectX8, DirectX8.1.
I do not know but I suspect that WINE's various Direct3D code utilizes OpenGL nVidia Extension or higher level OpenGL ARB Extension rather that lower one.
You can (and should have) research this yourself. Wine is 100% opensource.
That's why while INTEL OpenGL driver does support DirectX7, DirectX8 level 3D wine does not able to run many games on INTEL Linux graphics driver. While those many games run on nVidia Linux driver.
Note that no Linux video driver supports any form of DirectX. Wine translates DirectX calls to OpenGL etc. calls.
I hope WINE will someday have better INTEL OpenGL support.
Most likely, improved drivers would fix this, however reporting bugs regarding Intel graphics and proposing patches to Wine (assuming they are well-formed and proper, and don't break support with other cards) are more than welcome.
