Do the version of driver difference?

Ok, lets try this. If you want to upgrade to windows 8, go ahead and do so. This time, let windows 8 install all available updates as Bora suggested, it will install the version of AMD's graphics you spoke of, run that version for a bit, if it is not up to the task, then use AMD's website to install latest version, it will offer to uninstall the other version before upgrading. Try tweaking some of the settings in the catalyst control panel, adjust your power settings to performance "if available", and go from there.

i already do this but performance doest be good. My graphic card is very old and very few people use it then amd guys dont update the driver like "Lets do the version 13.1, they dont use veru much" and thats it

May I ask, if you remember, what is the size of the driver (install package) for Windows 7 and size of the package for Windows 8? (Through Windows Update)

AMD dropped driver support for HD 4000 & below, so you can try to install ccc 13.9 on win 8 or else you can use default windows driver for your HD 2000 series GPU.
Normally I don't update drivers through Windows Update since it only provides you with latest driver and no interface like CCC to tweak settings of ur GPU.

Driver for your graphic card isn't totally supported by Windows 8. It's a legacy driver, very old with support to DirectX 10 and 10.1.
You can try download this from Softpedia
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/GR...Pro-Graphics-Driver-89370-for-Windows-8.shtml
or Catalyst Software Suite directly from AMD

Stick with win 7 since the driver version and CCC version looks more polished & optimized than win 8.x.
