From AMD driver site "AMD Catalyst™ Driver for AMD Radeon™ HD 4000, HD 3000 and HD 2000 Series

After five years of active service, the ATI Radeon™ HD 4000, ATI Radeon™ HD 3000, and ATI Radeon™ HD 2000 Series products reached peak performance optimization on October 15, 2013, and were transitioned to a legacy support lifecycle. No additional driver releases are planned for these products. It is important that PC gamers migrate to a modern AMD Radeon™ graphics card. Customers migrating to a modern GPU can benefit from exciting new features, improved performance, lower power consumption and broad compatibility with the latest PC games.p> "

Link to windows 8 (NOT 8.1) driver

Ok after I made this post last night, Things have changed. Earlier today, I was messing with my computer (just browsing the net) and all of a sudden my monitor flickered a couple of times and when it quit the resolution had changed. Nothing I did ... it just changed on its own.

So I went back to device manager and the video adapter was properly listed as ATI Radeon 3000 Graphics card. And instead of the Microsoft basic driver, Here is what was listed when I check SysInfo

The Driver is dated 01/13/2015 provided by Advanced Micro Devices Inc. It is digitally signed by Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher.

Where it came from and how it managed to get to my computer is a mystery to me... Maybe an automatic update by Microsoft ...
