From: Chris 

The cards can be produced by many manufacturers and sold under many brands,
which is the same model ATI uses.  The important point is that both
manufacturers sell their graphics chipsets to the different manufacturers. 
Thus, unless the card specifically says it was made by ATI, then it is
likely another manufacturer's implementation of the ATI graphics chipset. 
Same scenario with nVidia, although I'm not sure if they actually make any
cards in-house (like ATI) or if they just sell the chips to other
companies.

The ATI site has a surprisingly clear explanation of what I'm talking
about.  When you go to get an ATI driver, you need to know if it is a card
made by ATI or simply using an ATI chipset.

Clear as mud?
