Have a read through this below, I know its Nvidia but it's a good guide on the Video setting's & what they do + the affect they have on GPU perfomace !

http://www.geforce.co.uk/whats-new/guides/battlefield-3-tweak-guide#1

You TV is ether 1080p (1920x1080) or 720p (1280x720) ? you can find out by going into your setting & looking at the native res with the control panel.

Ether way use the guide & download fraps to see what frames per second you are getting, then you can change the settings in BF3 & see what affect it will have on your Frames...
 
Wonder if people are comparing different maps/players.

Run low settings except mesh with my old setup and I can notice the difference in bigger maps. In particular tanks doing 180's for no apparent reason.

32 player smaller maps and its very smooth.

how's this- turn everything up and if it doesn't work start turning stuff down until it does :D
 
I would set to low and set Mesh quality which is draw distance to the highest setting possible, allows you to see people and vehicles at a long distance use fraps in game to test this. or use this program Desktop http://bf3.realmware.co.uk/settings-editor/downloads to change settings including adding FPS in the top right corner off screen

I used to play it on my second rig with an i7 930 and an 8800gt, low settings and it was perfectly playable. Since upgraded the gpu to a gtx 650 ti boost 2gb. All on high and it can manage 50fps+ at 1680x1050. Bf3 still looks very nice even on lower settings, i can run it on full ultra at 1920x1200, x4 msaa on the spec in sig, but it can actually look a bit cluttered as theres so much going on.
