And what does reading the Wiki article have to do with anything?
It was because of an ATI 8500 that I couldn't use Trainz UTC edition in the early days and had to wait until I replaced that video card for something else in 2003. The old ATI 8500 card used to BSOD my computer if I looked at the monitor the wrong way too many times. Trainz Demo used to black screen most of the time and even MSTS used to crash with GPFs due to graphics errors caused by the ATI 8500.
It took me almost a decade before I used an AMD video card again and then that one was okay compared to the replacement NVidia I purchased. I wasn't impressed with the drivers. AMD makes good hardware, but their drivers are crap. They inherited that from ATI. Some genes don't wash away in the intervening years and lifetimes.
