Another way to look at it is that the developers of Battlefield 3 have failed to make their game compatible with a specific graphics card...

Which would be the correct way of looking at it. How could Apple have known that in one year and a half, BF3 will come out that won't support this GPU they are using in their current line-up? There is no way of telling!
 
Don't be upset man, BF3 doesn't even run that well on late 2011 MBPs..

(for FPS games, 60fps is a minimum)

Erm, don't you just have to update the driver in Windows to the latest one provided by NVIDIA? Hardly difficult to do...

Macbook pro

we can use battlefield 3 on our Macbook pro.If we run the screen res at 800 x600 and have all the detail at the lowest settings the game runs without juddering stuttering.

I see that we have two graphics a 9400 m and a 9600 m gt Is it possible to upgrade either of these to a faster newer graphics card
 
MW 3 our macbook pro runs this game in high res with all the detail it is LUSH.

Back in Love ha ha
