“AMD’s Catalyst Linux driver has improved substantially over the
past few years. Years ago the Catalyst Linux driver was in shambles
with its performance being utterly poor, it lacked
enthusiast-oriented features like CrossFire and OverDrive, and ATI
customers had to wait months — sometimes in excess of a year —
for any driver support in Linux. All of this though has changed
with AMD now providing same-day Linux support, a near feature
parity to the Windows Catalyst driver, and first-rate performance.
Playing a critical role in improving the ATI Linux support has been
Matthew Tippett, serving as the engineering manager for Linux Core
Engineering since joining ATI Technologies in 2003. To put it in
perspective, when Matthew started work at ATI, only the FireGL
graphics cards were supported under Linux. However, today will be
his last day serving ATI / Advanced Micro Devices.”
