When I use my FN keys during in-game without the Steam overlay, the FPS drops around 50%. Was running it on 1024x768.

On the other hand, when I changed the volume when I had the Steam overlay on, it did not impact the FPS in my opinion.

Just to make sure this is clear: It works better with overlay enabled and worse with overlay disabled?

Closing as general video driver performance from 2013 is no longer relevant.

This is low end hardware and the desktop environment most likely was compositing a volume level indicator to cause the performance drop.
