Hi all,  

About DirectX...

Diagnosing basic problems with DirectX

If your system are slow .. (graphics card, CPU, etc)
Of if your graphics card is not compatible with DirectX 11...

Maybe try DirectX 10.1
Remove DirectX11 with Drivers Sweeper, by exemple.
The best are install DirextX before BattleField 3 or any other game...

DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010)

DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer (For the last update)

Dxdiag and the graphics adapter Tab, do not detect the correct RAM for both AMD and Nvidia cards, by exemple.

When you update nVIDIA drivers, Remove all last version of drivers.
Clean with software your Register Base.

Turn off tessellation by settings Terrain Quality to LOW.
And make sure MSAA is off and only use AA POST, med or high should be fine.

If you do not have enough RAM, make sure you have a file pagefile.sys big enough.
