I'm not the right person to advise on this problem because I have very limited experience with Nvidia cards and even less with WINE. Nevertheless, the (generic) way I would go about it would be to try an HDMI cable first in case the higher bitrate makes any difference in what the kernel/driver sees and can drive. If there is no improvement, then I would look into feeding a custom EDID file for the new monitor to the kernel and see if WINE performance improves. Have a look at 'xrandr --prop' to see what the new Vs the old monitor display and read this for more: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/EDID/HOWTO.txt HTH. -- Regards, Mick
