    I have the specs in my sig.

    Two things:

    Can I overclock my GPU the same way in Ubuntu?

    Will it be much slower?

    no overclock that I know of.... and it shouldn't be slower if your useing the same driver... now through wine games will be slower since their not really designed to run in wine
