I passed the criteria but the frame rate was around 30 frames per second.

I checked the Mass Effect 3 system requirements and exceeded them significantly. My setup includes an AMD A8 6600K quad-core processor, AMD Radeon 8750d graphics at 3.9GHz, Windows 7, and 8GB of RAM. The recommended specs are listed on the official help page. Despite running 1080p without shadows or anti-aliasing, I’m only achieving around 30fps. It seems I might be able to reach about 60fps if conditions improve.
An executable named masseffect3config is running, and there are several parameters you can adjust.
Turn off any visual overlays and confirm you have the newest graphics drivers installed. Even with high settings, you might only reach around 40 frames per second. The APU’s integrated graphics perform similarly to the HD 6670. ME3 demands more power than earlier games.
It's a 8570D, matching roughly the performance of a Nvidia GT 430. That's essentially a display device at its best. Even Intel's integrated graphics are quicker. Unfortunately, 1080p gaming isn't its intended purpose. You'll need a dedicated graphics card or lower resolution to get good results.
The 9800GT is the recommended choice according to EA, and it's worth noting how the HD6670 stacks up against it. This reflects the GPU performance typical in that APU setup. http://www.hwcompare.com/10930/geforce-9...0-oem-1gb/
