Drivers for Windows 8 should work for Windows 8.1, they are basically the same thing, there is not much change in the operating system architecture.
But yes, please try the BETA drivers. Be reminded that Windows may replace the drivers installed with Microsoft provided ones as well, it may be good to uninstall your current drivers first, or to disable Windows Update and try to install the drivers.

I already have the beta drivers installed. I tried that method already, That also hasn't worked. May I have a link on how to downgrade?
If your PC was running Windows 8 you might be able to restore it back to Windows 8 by using PC refresh. Your personal files won't be affected, but apps that did not come with the PC will need to be reinstalled and apps that you installed while using the preview might not be available through the Windows 8 Store. To find out more about using PC refresh, see Restore, refresh, or reset your PC.
If your PC was running Windows 8 and you installed the preview by booting from media, you'll need to restore your original operating system by using recovery media created prior to installation or by following instructions provided by your PC manufacturer. You can then install Windows 8.1 through the Windows Store. For detailed instructions, see Update to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8.
or you could wait untill amd release new drivers (could be a while as the gpu is listed as legacy now)
as i said, your card is legacy now so it may never be updated, they tend to update newer cards or to fix issues if they break all the things.
you could contact amd and see if they have a fix.
but not much can be done if the drivers don't work with 8.1, atleast i don't know any other fix

The last update for my drivers was around 2 & a half years ago. Do you know if they annually update them?
