Well, the ATI Radeon *name* has been out for a while.
now, and new releases in that card family are simply not going to be spectacularly different from each other at the driver level... are they?
Yes :-( Even the most-recent variants, the Radeon 7500 and the Radeon 8500 are different from each other...

Yes :-(
