might it be the video memory auto detection?

Wine doesn't have a check for the GTX 260, only the 280 at the moment... it needs to be added.

You can set your video memory size manually through regedit

HKLM, Software, Wine, Direct3D

create a key named VideoMemorySize, and set it to 896 (I think all GTX 260's have 896MB)
