From what I understand multiplayer is much more taxing than the single player. I'd think you'd be able to do medium settings pretty well, but then your CPU may cause a bottleneck.

playing on a 1280x960 rez.. ?

It might help out a little, larger resolutions put more strain on the GPU, I think your CPU will be the bottle neck so it probably won't do much if anything.

could i play it on low settings ..is it playable?

 

[mace200200]

It'll be playable for sure, like I said you could probably get away with some higher settings even.

Battlefield 3 is quite CPU intensive. Most likely it's the CPU causing frame drops, as compared to BC2. BF3 has twice the amount of maximum players and much better destruction.
