your card plain sucks. It only has 48 cores. In compairison, the GT540 has 96 and it is a mid range card. If your getting ultra in games, your playing from the last century or playing at sub VGA resolutions.

To play BF3 you need 112 cores at 900 MHz (8800GT) or higher. That is bare minimum for the game.
