So i bought a new graphic card: ATI Radeon HD 4850.. And i got motivated to start mapping again last night, but when i started up hammer i couldn't select in 3D view and all the 2D views was really laggy.

So i read around in different forums and found out that i had to get an older version of the atioglxx.dll file, so i downloaded older drivers and tried different files, but they all either give me errors and some i can select in 3D view, but every view is REALLY laggy.

Anyone have any suggestion? Or files that does work for you?

If I remember right raver epxerienced this problem too during his 10man mapping project. I'm not sure if you got the same problem as him but his problem was caused by an ATI card too.
Heres the fix post: http://xtreme-jumps.eu/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?106346

Try changing your hammer options in "2D Views" and in "3D Views, I don't think it's laggy because of your graphic card, it's something else...

Your problem: Ati drivers dont support older opengl versions. Hammer is using like 1.1 I think. Ati drivers only support opengl3.

If you got vista, here is a file that works. 3D view still lags with small to big maps.

PLEASE let me know if you found a sulution

* I got the same card *

Also, put "back clippign plane" and "Model render distance" to a low value. I gives less lagg. It isnt fun to map anymore :(
