Civ V runs fine on my machine, which runs the latest Linux Mint version.

But here are a couple of examples of what CivBE looks like. And I've tried a combination of graphics settings, including the lowest possible graphics settings. This is on an Intel 3rd Gen core processor... but again if it runs Civ V fine, it should run this fine, right?

If this needs to be in Tech Support forum please move it there. And if anyone has solutions, let me know please.

Moderator Action: Moved to Tech Support.

Just because a machine can run Civ V does not mean it can run Civ BE. Can you post your DxDiag file?

There's no exact DXDiag for Linux, but running sudo lshw -html > specs.html gives out similar info.
