these are minimum requirements for BF3 but it should atleast run.

275.33 drivers are you crazy thats your problem for sure lol.

I remember the beta FORCED you to use the latest beta driver and there was a WHQL release after the Alpha as well.

285.62 is the current WHQL release and the release driver meant for BF3. There are 2 betas past that the first on fixed some issues mainly with directx 10 cards like yours.
