I believe it's most likely an AMD card, as Nvidia's drivers are still available from the proprietary driver selection, unless the system was installed in free-software mode.

I also have a Radeon VGA running the FOSS-driver and most applications work fine (except of AgryllCMS/dispwin color calibration because of broken VideoLUT and some missing hardware acceleration that demands the proprietary Nvidia driver because of CUDA or something similar). So maybe using the default driver is fine, but William could also try installing the proprietary AMD GPU-Pro driver and see how it works before reinstalling:
