bought a refurbished Asus M51BC with the FX-6300 (for $190!! not bad...) and Radeon HD 8350.
of course the first thing I do: install steam and Astroneer to see how it runs, and Astroneer says it may have a problem with the drivers being out of date, even though device manager says its up to date at 13.101.somemthing. I didn't screenshot that one, but I'm assuming the discrepancy there is because I don't have windows 10? Either way, astroneer runs at 8 FPS max with all settings low, vsync off and res 1360 X 768. I know it's not a great card but was hoping for at least 15-20 FPS.
So I update to windows 8.1 hoping to get some updated drivers, and once all is said and done, I now show I have a Radeon HD 7300 and Astroneer (or steam?) gives the same warning about an outdated driver on the graphics card potentially causing poor performance. CPU-Z has shown the same graphics card shown in Device Manager both before and after updates. Device manager also won't update the HD 7300 drivers, saying they are up to date, even though Astroneer/Steam says they are not.
I have no idea where the issue here is between incorrect GPU shown and not being able to update drivers. Is this going to be a constant hangup because I'm running old windows? Will this card ever achieve the 15-20 FPS I want, or should I just slap my old GT 710 in there and forget this ever happened? haha please help.
