ATI/AMD is not nearly as good as NVIDIA in regards to proprietary driver support for Linux. They only support their proprietary drivers for cards for a very short time, usable with just a few versions of X. NVIDIA usually includes all old graphics, so their new proprietary drivers work even for old cards, with new versions of X.
