Although AMD strongly considered making the functional part of the ATI drivers "open source", [18] before the merger with AMD, ATI had no plans to release their graphics drivers as free software: Proprietary, patented optimizations are part of the value we provide to our customers and we have no plans to release these drivers to open source.
Model – The marketing name for the GPU assigned by AMD/ATI. Note that ATI trademarks have been replaced by AMD trademarks starting with the Radeon HD 6000 series for desktop and AMD FirePro series for professional graphics. Codename – The internal engineering codename for the GPU. Launch – Date of release for the GPU.
In the past ATI provided hardware and technical documentation to the Haiku Project to produce drivers with full 2D and video in/out support on older Radeon chipsets (up to R500) for Haiku. A new Radeon HD driver was developed with the unofficial and indirect guidance of AMD open source engineers and currently exists in recent Haiku versions.
The FOSS drivers for ATI-AMD GPUs are being developed under the name Radeon (xf86-video-ati or xserver-xorg-video-radeon). They still must load proprietary microcode into the GPU to enable hardware acceleration.

ATI does not provide official support for any X1000 series cards for Windows 8 or Windows 10; the last AMD Catalyst for this generation is the 10.2 from 2010 up to Windows 7. [1] AMD stopped providing drivers for Windows 7 for this series in 2015. [2] A series of open source Radeon drivers are available when using a Linux distribution.
The ATI Rage (stylized as RAGE or rage) is a series of graphics chipsets developed by ATI Technologies offering graphical user interface (GUI) 2D acceleration, video acceleration, and 3D acceleration developed by ATI Technologies.
The Omega ATI driver is based on ATI's Catalyst drivers. The driver is particularly notable for resolving 3D compatibility problems affecting past versions of the ATI drivers (versions 7.8-7.12) and some AGP cards. The driver includes various third-party utilities including 'MultiRes' (from EnTech Taiwan) and ATI Tray Tools tweaking utility.
