Is the driver really from the year 2012? That is quite old already..
Not sure if we can do anything about it.

Please try to run Blender from the console with the --debug --debug-gpu options and post the output here.

There are newer drivers from 2015 (Catalyst) and 2016 (Crimson) - link . YMMV, sometimes newer drivers make things worse.

Closing since we now only officially support AMD graphics cards with GCN 1st gen and later for Blender 2.80.

More information on that decision is here:
https://code.blender.org/2019/04/supported-gpus-in-blender-2-80/

We keep this bug listed in #61936 (EOL GPU problems tracking report) in case anyone is interested in fixing it.
