Battlefront FPS Problems

While playing battlefront I noticed massive FPS drops on the Death Star DLC maps and on some Bespin maps, I was wondering if there is anything I can do to increase my FPS, and I know I'm not the only...

Your GT 650M is quite a few steps below the GTX 660 (desktop) minimum. The game should run slowly, unless you dial all of the graphics quality settings as low as they will go, and also choose a relatively coarse screen resolution.

Incidentally (via edit, a P. S.), GPU Boss' test score totals often aren't as conclusive as they might be. I was visiting Game Debate the next day, and their scores rate your 650M as being practically abysmal compared to the GTX desktop card.

It makes no difference whether you are on an Apple PC or a regular WinTel machine, the hardware required is the same, and the failure to include any discrete video graphics adapter with a core from either AMD Radeon, or nVIDIA Geforce disqualifies the great majority of all Laptop systems, and many desktop PCs as well.

Minimum PC System Requirements

    OS: 64-bit Windows 7 or later (Win 7 should have SP 1)
    Processor (Intel): Intel i3 6300T or equivalent (3.3 GHz)
    Memory: 8GB RAM
    Hard Drive: At least 40 GB of free space
    Graphics card (NVIDIA): nVidia GeForce GTX 660 2GB
    Graphics card (ATI): ATI Radeon HD 7850 2GB
    DirectX: 11.0 Compatible video card or equivalent
    Online Connection Requirements: 512 KBPS or faster Internet connection

There is no official support for systems below the above minimums. Even if they might have seemed to run for a time, they weren't doing so as well as intended by the developers.

    When I first bought the game it ran perfectly on medium settings (the default that it set for my computer)
    
    after a few hours playing it started slowing down and I had to lower the settings, the game runs fine on every map except twilight on Hoth, death star, and some bespin maps, if my computer is a few steps below minimum, why did it run perfectly fine when I first got it, and why the slow down?
