PvZ GW2 crashes immediately after launching
So i have just installed PvZ GW2, but it crashes every time i launch it.
CPU: Intel Core i3-2120 3,3 GHZ
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6450 Graphics
compared both to the minimum systém requirements on cpu...

The first digit in the old Radeon number system was for the generation, not the performance level, and an "N450" is a very low end video device, lower than some Intel onboard video chips these days. It is also relatively elderly, whatever performance level it might have been. Neither of the highly publicized "check" sites are particularly accurate.
The SR Lab website is the worst of the two. It is wrong so often, the place is just a very bad joke. I also have seen some errors on some GPU Boss comnparisons, although not this time.

Note that after the game was finalized, AMD ceased to offer driver updates for the HD 5000 and HD 6000 GPU generations, so a substitute, the HD 7730, has been suggested.

Hi,
I am having the same issue and have the below video card on a laptop;
| Graphics Product [1] | AMD Radeon (TM) HD 8500M/8700M |
| Graphics Driver Version | 16.150.2211.0 |
| 3D Acceleration | Yes |
| Hardware Transform & Lighting Support | Yes |
| Video Memory | 1.8 GB |
| Vertex Shader Support | 5.0 |
| Pixel Shader Support | 5.0 |
| Microsoft DirectX* Version | 11.0 |
| Graphics Product [2] | AMD Radeon (TM) HD 8500M/8700M |
| 3D Acceleration | Yes |
| Hardware Transform & Lighting Support | Yes |
| Video Memory | 4.0 GB |
| Vertex Shader Support | 5.0 |
| Pixel Shader Support | 5.0 |
Is this not good enough too?
Thanks,
Wayne
The HD 8500M / 8700M is roughly 20 to 25% slower than the minimum desktop Radeon required. It may run the game at very low screen resolutions, and with most quality settings as low as they can go. Its performance may be slow, but the crashing has some other source, such as drivers.
