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.
