Hello, Is this laptop good enough to run BF3 at atleast 30fps on medium? Also is this card dual? I'm new to computers I know it's an APU so does that mean theAMD Radeon HD 6620G discrete-class card isn't the only card? Sorry if I'm not making 100% sense, but I keep seeing people say they have two cards with the DV6 and I was wondering if this was the same model for that. Thanks alot for helping in advance!

The DV6 a two seperate graphics cards, a "powerful" card for gaming and a "lean" card for battery endurance which it switches between depending on whether the power supply is connected.

As to whether the 6620G in that DV6 is powerful enough to run BF3, I have my doubts because it is only a low to mid range card. I have the older Radeon HD5650 in my DV6 and it is not powerful enough to run CoD:Black Ops or MW2, even at the lowest settings.

The real gaming laptops have the high end cards which sometimes have matched dual graphics cards which run in SLi/crossfire. Sadly, the DV6 is not one of them.
 
the dv6 is just a series of laptop production, what goes inside varies greatly depending on the model, so unless you specifically referring to the model that has a dedicated GPU along side the APU, the laptop he gave a link to (specifically dv6-6145dx) only has the APU, which is reflected by the price.

I advise you to do better research rather than demonstrating your ignorance by giving false information/advice
