ASUS Laptop G53 Series G53SXXN1 Intel Core i7 2nd Gen 2630QM 2.00 GHz 8 GB Memory 500 GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M 15.6 Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit Newegg.com

This isn't going to cut it because the 560M is a lot worse than its bigger desktop version. On medium settings, I get around 45-ish FPS with a 6950, 80-90 FPS with a GTX 460 fermi SLi, about 40FPS with a single GTX 560 Ti. The laptop GTX 560m isn't going to do so well. It takes me 3 GTX 570's to get good FPS on max settings (And my friend had trouble getting the SLI working on the game), so BF3 is a really GPU intense game.

"Decent" is subjective.

Yes, the GTX570 gets a couple more frames, but for all practical purposes the two cards are essentially equal, no?[/quote]

There's very little disagreement that equivalent GeForces and Radeons have any important differences, but my friends are using much older hardware and of course, framerate differences are much more noticeable.

I think it's still too early to say. The 11.10 drivers by AMD is still unknown as to what sort of performance improvements it'll give, but on general it seems like both AMD and NVidia cards are performing about the same right now, at least on the HD6970/GTX570 level. If you're going multi-GPU, though, then a pair of NVidia cards would probably get you more performance for the buck, though not by much(?)

[quote=heyitsmexD]Something that can run BF3 on medium smoothly with approx 50-60 fps maybe?[/quote]
The BF3 beta is more or less locked on medium settings, and I'm getting 50-60fps with my HD6970, so I'll venture a guess and say... no.

EDIT
At least not right now. If the BFBC2 beta is anything to go by, BF3 may be much more optimized upon release than now.
