Ok thanks, I can't find a HD8570 but it seems like the R7 240 is a rebrand of 
it. What are the odds that it will also work?

I actually used that tutorial to set it up and I can't find anything that I 
might have missed. I have unfortunately returned the card by now while I still 
had time so I can't test it further. It would be really nice if we could 
somehow force vfio to do a reset so that we would know if it is even possible 
for a card. Is there any cheap (perferably AMD) card that I can get which is 
known to downright work properly with vfio reset?

If you're looking for cheap and very low-end, try an HD8570.  I generally don't 
recommend AMD due to the myriad of issues though, however mine works great. I 
would still suspect there's really no reset problem on a GT730 and the issue 
had something to do with the configuration.  vfio is a generic userspace 
driver, so it's not too difficult to write code that just does enough 
initialization to do a bus reset, see for example this crufty unit test 
https://github.com/awilliam/tests/blob/master/vfio-pci-hot-reset.c
