There were about a dozen members of that family, starting from the useless HD 5450 and going upward to the HD 5870, which was plenty good enough. You'll need to specify which one of those you actually have.
Can you tell me how to find that out because my computer tells only 5000.

i used to have ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650. But when I upgraded to windows 10 I had 5000 series.

Software cannot physically change any hardware component. An HD 5650m remains much lower down in the performance charts from the minimum HD 5750, sorry. A desktop HD 5670 would be "closer" to good enough, but all laptop cards are all emasculated to some extent, so that a (laptop) HD 5770m is only roughly equivalent to a desktop HD 5650!

Well I was able to play the first GW on an older laptop which also has the 5650 mobility, on ultra settings and 50-55 fps (more than playable).
This game is more demanding, but if you tweak the graphics a bit you might still be able to get a decent fps rate and a enjoyable performance.
Buy the game, test it and if you have any major issues refund it 😉

You've received three comments to your message thread since you clarified the real name of your elderly video graphics card. My opinion is somewhat negative. You also have one somewhat less negative opinion, and one extremely negative response.
I do have to add that if the rest of your laptop is of similar age and performance level to that video device, you are overdue for an upgrade. I have become quite unhappy with the nature of laptops generally because they cannot even be recycled profitably. The design is such that the valuable elements are simply beyond economical reach.
I always suggest that people look into getting a stationary system, and remind them that so much reduction in bulk of the components has occurred that a "large" gaming tower box isn't really needed these days. You can fit everything you need into a comparatively compact box that doesn't take up nearly so much space under your desk / table. AND best of all, it's less expensive than portable PCs by a large margin, both immediately and over a much longer lifetime than a laptop.
