UNIX is not a Windows replacement; if you must run Windows programs, use Windows.

It's technically possible to load and run Windows programs on an x86 Linux system through Wine. Windows-compatibility is a continuous uphill battle to keep up with Microsoft's nonstop API changes and extensions, so compatibility isn't good enough to guarantee a new graphics-intensive program will operate. Conversely, some older games run better in Wine than they do in modern Windows: older API's still work in Wine even after MS guts them and leaves them to rot.
