well offcourse gpu usage is 100% gpu memory usage 650MB

Both the CPU and GPU are really getting worked. I suggest lowering your resolution, and play on Medium settings modified, some settings have to be lower. Also turn off antialiasing and ambient occlusion.

but cant you tell why core 2 is not having much usage?

BF3 is graphic intensive. recommend replacing your old gpu with something a little more modern.

That GPU is not good enough and the CPU scrapes as bare minimum.

you cant because your gpu is below recomended spec by a good margin. you need a minimum 88gt/98gt/4850 to get playable frame rates even on low...

Graphics Card (AMD): DirectX 10.1 compatible with 512 MB RAM (ATI RADEON 3000, 4000, 5000 OR 6000 series, with ATI RADEON 3870 or higher performance)
Graphics Card (NVIDIA): DirectX 10.0 compatible with 512 MB RAM (NVIDIA GEFORCE 8, 9, 200, 300, 400 OR 500 series with NVIDIA GEFORCE 8800 GT or higher performance)
yes the gforce 9 series is listed but they mean it must be a gforce *800 where the star represents the series like 8800 or 9800 every card after that must be a *50 or above to play so gts 250 450 or 550 yours being a *400 is just to low...

same goes for ati it must be a 3870 or a 4850 1s you get over a 3870 the requirement drops to *850 so 5850 6750 7750 and so on... the higher the last 2 numbers the better regardless of what series... **20 **30 3750 and under are just to weak.

like i say get a minimum of a 98gt and you will be able to play at least at low settings and get a playable 30 fps minimum.
