    Don't play with everything on max, even though you have a gtx 1060 game depends alot on single core cpu frequency and yours is only clocked @3.2ghz.

    I play with a 3.5ghz intel and can run the game smooth at medium-high.

    Yep. OP, your CPU may be absolutely amazing for most modern gaming, but Vindictus was made using a very old version of the Source Engine(seriously WHY does it still support DirectX 8???) and as such any multicore rendering is poorly implemented at best. It will mostly use a single core, and thus raw clock speed and the power of individual cores will win the day over multicore performance.

    To really drive this point home, your CPU is objectively better than the i5-6600 I run the game with. Game-Debate marks your CPU as performing roughly 12% better in general, which is more significant than you'd probably think. Despite this, I can run the game maxed at 1080p, 45-60fps. And this is taking into account that I have a worse GPU too, with a 1050Ti.
