ATI Catalyst (Proprietary Driver)

Supported are devices of ATIs Radeon brand made by AMD. Future devices will be branded as AMD Radeon. Since version 9.4, the proprietary ATI driver only supports graphic cards with core R6xx or newer. For older cards, you can use xf86-video-ati.

Within this article, readers will see both model names (e.g. HD 4850, X1900) and code or core names (e.g. RV770, R580). Please refer to this table of AMDs model and core series.
