      And I have just downloaded drivers for Win 8 x64 - installed from AMD
      The same version like it used to be when it was installed by Windows update, the same issue like it used to be

        @ultramax I think your expecting a little to much from an Legacy EOL gpu mate I posted the latest available drivers for your GPU if they don't work under Windows 10 like you want then it's probably time to upgrade your laptop to something a little more recent with a supported GPU

          @ultramax See https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=800950#c46 if you haven't.

            @athlonite the same drivers for Win 10 and Win 7 behave differently. And again, I was discussing the issue below (see link) so chromium support confirmed that this is chromium issue

              ATI Radeon HD 4200 had that problem since around chromium v64. Just tried the --disable-direct-composition switch per your suggestion and it works! The cpu was pegged at 100% at full screen, when using no hardware acceleration. With it turned on and the command line switch, the cpu dropped to 50% or less at full screen. Worked on both opera 57 and vivaldi-snapshot. Seems good so far. Thanks!
              Win10

              On same box using debian, I never had any problems with same browsers. On Win10, I think the problem affects the entire ati HD 4000 series.

                  This fix is implemented on top of tree and has been merged back to Chrome M70 branch.

                  So you will get this fix when Chrome is M70 or newer.

                  Release dates are herelink text

                    I see some more tweaks are in review there due to increased crashes from the fix. But it's progressing.
