Hi, Welcome to the Deepin Forum. The AMD proprietary drivers are not fully compatible, hopefully we will get better hardware support with the Deepin Linux Kernel plan and version 15.2 https://bbs.deepin.org/post/30883
Have you tried sudo aticonfig --lsch ? and exactly which proprietary driver are you using ?

Then I downloaded the package from installing Ati but told me that I must first remove the old ones

I stopped here because I do not know what to do

Even with a single Amd/Ati card some users had success with it and others did not.

If the catalyst control center or aticonfig --help does not work you may have to check the Debian Wiki and some times the Arch Wiki gives more detail information.

The Linux driver support is not that good from AMD. One of the problems is that the latest AMD/ATI driver tends to be about 18 months behind development of the latest Linux Xorg stack, so not fully compatible.

When you download the AMD driver from web site and unzip. it contains a 44 page PDF installer notes.
