    R5xx (not R5xxx), which is anything from RV515 (Radeon X1300) to R580+ (Radeon X1950 XT(X)), see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_X1000_series#Chipset_table.

    As those cards were released between 2005 and 2007, you will get them NOS at best (but still rarely). It's easier to get them used, so look for them where used stuff is being sold.

    As I wrote, the R5xx-based card is for MorphOS and Linux. That's why you'll have to keep your GCN1-based card in the primary slot for OS4, as I also wrote.
