Question
I've been attempting to play the Battlefield 3 beta but I get staggeringly bad framerates (unplayable) unless I turn down the resolution to 800x600 (ish) - even then the framrate isn't great. So far as I can tell my machine meets the minimum requirements:
OS: Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) 32-Bit
Processor: 2 GHz Dual Core (Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHZ or Althon X2 2.7 GHz)
Memory: 2 GB
Hard Drive: 20 GB
Graphics Card (NVIDIA): DirectX 10.0 compatible with 512 MB RAM (NVIDIA GEFORCE 8, 9, 200, 300, 400 OR 500 series with NVIDIA GEFORCE 8800 GT or higher performance)
Sound card : DirectX compatible
Keyboard and Mouse
DVD ROM Drive
I've got an Alienware M15x:
OS: Windows 7 64 BitCPU: i7 Quad Core 64 BitRAM 4 GiBGPU: Nvidia Geforce GT 240M
Is my graphics card here just not quite up to scratch or do you think this is just a beta pre-optimisation issue?
Answer
They say
with NVIDIA GEFORCE 8800 GT or higher performance
The problem is an 8800 GT == 9600 GT == 240 GTS
So what i wanna say is you have an 240M this is a mobile version of the 240 GT/GTS wich means it has lower performance than the 240 GT/GTS so lower performance than the minimum requirments tell you that you need. Im sorry but you will not be able to play BF3 any better on that laptop.

P.S. There may be a chance that special BF3 Drivers or little improvements on their side pump up your Fps a bit but dont count on it due to an outdated GPU
