That’s right, it’s just that XP was used by most people at the time, right?Nope, not fully correct.
Please note Windows Vista came out on November 8, 2006, so in most part of 2005-2010 it was the default/NEW OS.

I want to ask your final thoughts on this issueInteresting
@T4C Fantasy: What do you think? Should GPU-Z show the ATI logo for HD 5870 and similar cards from that period?

ATI has been around longer than that dude
It’s true that Windows XP was in 2001 and Radeon was in 2000.

I replaced it with Vista in 2007ish. Couldn't get 7 fast enough when it came out.
HD5000 VLIW-5 Terascale 2GPU-Z should say ATI Radeon for HD 5xxx cards, it's the last true (VLIW-5) ATI design. VLIW-4 was AMD or so I believe.
