  • Might be a faulty graphics driver. Try to install the most recent one. Also uninstall the old one if it's by another developer!

    If it dosn't help, then give us the specs of your hard and software.

    My specs are (I think) :

                               Name:    AMD Radeon R7 200 Series

                  Manufacturer:   Advanced Micro Devices ,Inc

                          Chip type:   AMD Radeon Graphics processor (0x6613)

    All of the Radeon R7 and R9 generation GPUs do have Dx11.  All of those I am familiar with are for desktop PCs and can be easily replaced, but I don't know yet if that is necessary.  There is no "R7 200" at all.  There are R7 250s and R7 260s, though.  Maybe GPU-z could get a straight answer from the hardware.

    You probably will not be happy with this game with only an R7 240

    Mid-range

    Radeon R7 240
    Radeon R7 250
    Radeon R7 250X
    Radeon R7 260
    Radeon R7 260X

    The R7 200 worked fine for me, No lagg, No visual problems.

    But still what about Directx 10? Is it the game or Is my card doing weird?because I know I can play the game I played it before... ._.

    Looks like an R5 m230 can do it first glance at that link, not outstanding of course but playable.

    Battlefield 4

     2013
    low 1024x768
    38.6  fps   
    med. 1366x768
    26.1  fps   
    high 1366x768
    17.4  fps  
     
    This game should pull better FPS than BF4 and I like notebookcheck because they seem to be on the lower end not the higher end, which is excellent because you don't want to be disappointed when you can't touch the FPS they list.
     
    Whatever the R7 2xx is it should be able to too.
     
    ** Oh were talking desktop cards ontop too... ya shouldn't be no issues with the GPU not being powerful enough...

    Did you physically remove a card when you put this one in?  If yes, wipe your drivers.  Let me know what card you took out (just the manufacture (i.e. AMD or nVidia) and I'll give you better detailed instructions how.

    -------

    If the motherboard had integrated graphics (there is a monitor plug directly on the backplate of the computer that you used before)... make sure those drivers are gone and it's disabled in the BIOS.

    -------

    Try a frame limiter... oddly enough it fixes this problem for some people.

    Open Notepad.
    Copy and Paste this:

    GameTime.MaxVariableFps 60

    Save it as "user.cfg"

    You cannot have user.cfg.txt
    enable "View Extentions of Known File Types" from Folder Options in Control Panel

    Put it in your PvZ directory
    \\Origin Games\Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare

    ---------

    Here is some more info about removing drivers... I'm just dumping my macro spam... this isn't custom tailored for you... but it might help you work through it if it's a driver issue... 

    =============

    AMD's uninstall method:
    http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/GPU57RemoveOldGraphicsDrivers.aspx

    Catalyst Uninstall Utility (seems to be removed from AMD's site now)
    http://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/16748/

    ===============

    Try this. If you aren't used to Safe Mode or scared of BSOD don't do it.

    Uninstall your nVidia Drivers from Control Panel (all)  [[replace with your manufacture, i.e. AMD]]
    Restart into Safe Mode
    Run DriverSweeper
    Restart
    Install Latest Drivers

    http://www.guru3d.com/content_page/guru3d_driver_sweeper.html
    http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us  [[or your AMD drivers]]

    If you have a BSOD on restart. Go back to Safe Mode. Go to System->Device Manager->Display Adapters Remove them, restart.

    Safe Mode /w Networking will save the day
