Display driver question.

I have Kubuntu 15.10 with all updates. It's HP EliteBook 8530p. Hardware:

So video card is Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV635/M86 [Mobility
Radeon HD 3650]
Question is: What is THE BEST video driver for it? It seems it's using
"radeon" now:
lsmod|grep video
uvcvideo               90112  0
videobuf2_vmalloc      16384  1 uvcvideo
videobuf2_memops       16384  1 videobuf2_vmalloc
videobuf2_core         49152  1 uvcvideo
v4l2_common            16384  1 videobuf2_core
videodev              172032  3 uvcvideo,v4l2_common,videobuf2_core
media                  24576  2 uvcvideo,videodev
video                  40960  0

I feel it a bit slow, and some desktop effects are not working properly.

I remember ages ago there was porprietary driver from ATI/AMD named
"fglrx", it was much more efficient than radeon, but had some compatibility
issues.

Is it supported now?
Will it be better for my video card?
