Your GPU is less powerful than the official minimum.  You need to lower your visual quality settings and yourt screen resilution to run with that card.

You and your false information all over the forums just to increase your post count.   How do you even manage to figure out how to turn on your computer?  The OP's GPU is ABOVE the minimum requirement.  The minimum requirement is a GeForce GT 8800 which is quite old and the 650m is a superior card.

Just because 8800 is a greater number than 650, does not mean which is more powerful that only goes for same-gen GPUs.  Did you even see your own link?  The 8800 is from 2008 while the 650M is from 2012 and that base model they list has 2x the VRAM.  Not to mention there is another version of it that has 2gb of VRAM --- either way it surpasses the minimum by fairly a lot.

To the OP:

There are several threads on this and some fixes that work for SOME people however Bioware has acknolwedged there is indeed an issue with FPS right now and they are working with NVIDIA to correct this.

System specs are here:  http://www.dragonage.com/#!/en_US/news/pc-systems-requirements-revealed   As you can see you are above the minimum and not too far from the recommended so you should be fine.   

What seems helpful for some people is:   Run the .exe as admin, run it in compatiability mode for Windows 7 (if you are on Windows 8.1), run it in full screen, use a program like Razer Cortex which has a built in optimizer that can help keep processes to a minimum, and toy with your settings to find a nice balance as being the best way to go about it at the moment.   Depending on some other specifics there may be other things you can do however do a search through the forums and you'll find several threads on it.
