What is minimum AMD graphics card

https://www.origin.com/en-gb/store/buy/plants-vs-zombies-garden-warfare-2/pc-download/base-game/standard-edition

Has system requirements with minimum graphics card of AMD Radeon HD 5750, I have an AMD Radeon HD 6800, but  GW2 keeps crashing.

However in trying to search for if other people have experienced it i came across

minimum card is a Radeon HD7730

So what is the minimum AMD card required?

    You referred to a card that is not offered in the retail market, and should not be referenced in any official materials.  That is what is called an "OEM only" product.  The HD 5750 is currently the accurately named device that was sold widely while it was in production (although that was several years ago now, and the R# 3xx series is the current generation).  Working backward, that HD 5nnn generation was four generations ago, and would be hard to find at retail today. 

    FYI, there was never any individual GPU with the name "HD 6800".  There was an HD 6850, and an HD 6870. I don't think there were any others.  Your crashing is most likely caused by failing to update the the very latest drivers that ATI / AMD offers (those from Microsoft do not count as "current", since their driver library is always very far behind).

    I have a HD 6850

    First thing I did was make sure i had latest drivers. Radeon Software Crimson Edition (16.2)

    The crash messages were saying things like don't overclock your card.

    Eventually I was able to get in and change the video settings manually, low quality 1280X720 and vertical sync off and its been  stable since then.
