In that case it's not an AMD/ATI graphics processor, it's NVIDIA.
I've been running AMD CPUs with NVidia graphics cards for years
and haven't encountered such problems (though I have to admit that
I can't stand Gnome-3.x and use it only long enough to install Mate.)
I have, otoh, run Gnome-2.x on those systems for all those years and
can't say I've ever seen any such problem on them.
