| Xen said: The most recent one I have is of a 5670. Says ATI Radeon Graphics. Same thing with the stickers on recent laptops. A pleasant change, considering that ATI was acquired in... 2005? 6? Don't remember. |
AMD may have acquired ATI several years ago, but they were still using the ATI name on their graphics products. It wasn't until around August of 2010 that they decided to remove the ATI name.

"The company always had the option to transition brand names since the merger, but Erskine said now was the right time as AMD wanted to take advantage of its growing momentum in the graphics market, Erskine said.
The change could also help give AMD more exposure. For example, Apple uses the ATI graphics in the iMac, with the ATI logo prominently displayed on Apple's website. The logo would instead reflect AMD, which could help expand the company's visibility."
As for driver problems I think currently the only real problems are getting Crossfire profiles for new games, which only affects users with multiple video cards. This isn't just limited to AMD though as Nvidia has the same problem with SLI and getting new games optimized for/working with SLI. (I think I read that DAII took Nvidia about a month to get SLI working properly)
I'm waiting on a Crossfire hotfix for the Witcher 2 at the moment, so I can play the Witcher 2 with ubersampling.
