Chances are you're using Intel's integrated graphics which is powered by your already sub-par mobile CPU. You're right, laptops are terrible for gaming, but integrated graphics is a no-no for most games. It's more than fine for casual users and very light games like flash games and combat arms ( if that ).

There is nothing you can do about it. Yes, I know, it sucks. Only a handful of laptops ( and I'm talking about the high end so called gaming laptops that are power hungry monsters ) are able to be upgraded if the CPU and GPU is not soldered down right into the motherboard. BF3 is a very intensive game and even DICE recommends at minimum a $230 GTX 560 TI or a AMD 6950 which are dedicated desktop video cards.

To fix the Gyazo links, simply just paste the link and add .png add the end of it, nothing more, nothing less.

Use this BB code.

If you have a desktop try playing it there.

Bf3on a laptop is destined for failure.

Always build it yourself unless you're physically challenged or handicapped. Save money, better parts, credibility, manufacturer warranties, etc.

If you're from the US/Canada, NCIX is technically the best option since they have a price matching feature so you're guaranteed the absolute lowest prices. Newegg is also an option and is a lot more easier to navigate through. The only two UK sites that I personally know of is Scan and Overclockers.
