Have you tried modern radeonkms on it (from drm-kmod not legacy)?

"HD7000 family" is kind of a meaningless marketing term: it includes TeraScale 2, GCN 1 and GCN 2.

An HD 7450/HD 8450/R5 235 is the same (only slightly updated) TeraScale/R600 architecture as your HD 3300.
AMD has been rebranding the same cards for many many years, old high end becoming new low end :)
