    Has anyone tried out Vindictus on their M11x? Very fun free MMO brawler. Check it out. Anyway I'm running an R1 with 4gb of ram. Not overclocked (Unfortunately I got an unstable CPU). I'm seeing some choppy frame rates in town and some slow down under heavy action in the instances. This is the first game that's really given me much of an issue. I have all the graphics options turned on to the recommended settings for my system (according to the game). Has anyone tried this game and have you had issues? I hear it's poorly optimized and gives top-end systems problems too.

    Never got asked for paypal here...
    It's a free download and free to play. They do have a cash shop like most free MMOs though. I don't think it's as neccesary to purchase things as it is in other MMOs. Are you sure you;re on the right site? Vindictus

    It works. The game is a bit weird on mine but you might have to go to the options menu and drag the performance slider all the way to the left. You could also try going into the options menu and turning on multi-core support (I think). You'd want to set it to Max Power.

    <-- m11xR2 owner, Core i7 (166MHz OC) and 3GB RAM.

    Vindictus runs at perma 60 FPS on instances absolutely maxed out (Vsync on), and 40 FPS on towns with ppl arround me.

    For any R1 people. What do you put your settings on? I think I put multi core on max power and the settings it said "should be enabled". But I get maybe 20-30 FPS spikes in town and 30-40 in dungeons and stuff on a good connection. I really want to get 40+ at all times but that doesn't seem like it's possible unless I go all low settings.

    I really don't want to go low since I decided to play this game based on looks.
