Can I play games on this computer?

Processor: i7, 2.2GHz
Memory: 6144mb

Can I play new games on this computer, like Battlefield 3, and if so, what graphic level?

 

You're going to need to give more info than that. I am assuming it is a laptop, because of the low clock speed.

Post the make and model of the laptop, so I can see the full specs.

 

Yes it's a laptop. Asus N53SV.

Check out near the bottom, gives a ton of games, and frame rates at all different detail levels.

 

How do I know my frame rate?

 

About 36 fps for bf3 on low settings, 41 on low for skyrim, and 43 on high for mw3. There is a full list on that link.

 

You should be able to play Battlefield 3 consistently on low settings.

 

You can play games, at low settings from what I'm seeing. The part that I worry about though, is where it says "max amount of memory." That usually indicates shared memory. And shared memory is slow memory.

Not to mention it's an i7 system with a heavy card. That laptop is going to be hot as a cheerleader on prom night. I'd suggest a cooling pad for it.

 

Yes you can play games but you won't get they same experience as some better pcs. You may also suffer some lag or low framerate.

 

I have an i3 2.1 GHz dual core and 4GB of RAM. I can play BF3 with 30 FPS on the lowest settings. Obviously not the best gaming experience but definitely playable. CoD is generally better fluctuating at around 40 FPS. (That's MW1 though.)

 

you guys keep mentioning your processor and RAM, but are leaving out the most important piece of reference material...the GPU. mentioning the model of your videocard might give us a better idea what we're working with here.
