I've added a few tweaks to this config, you can add those GFX Commands to yours, everything is set to LOW detail, if you are noticing any problem with "fullscreen" it's because r_mode is on 3 (640x480) and r_displayrefresh is on 150.
You can either change r_displayrefresh to 100 / 120 or just adjust your monitor by pressing the screen buttons, you can also use another r_mode but as i said before, everything is in LOW detail, so r_mode 3 is included on what i call LOW.
» GFX Commands
It should look like this Screen
*UPDATE* (White Textures)
Overdrive found out how to solve the "White shit problem". If suddenly you see some map and weapons textures in white, change te following commands to "-2"
image_specularPicMip "-2"
image_diffusePicMip "-2"
image_bumpPicMip "-2"
image_globalPicMip "-2"
image_picMip "-2"
*UPDATE* (Fullscreen)
I've changed the r_mode to 5 plus r_displayrefresh to 100 just to avoid the "fullscreen" problem, feel free to modify it as you like.

First sticky there.
(Quick answer: ensure com_unlockfps is set to 1, and com_unlock_maxfps is set to 60 or higher.)
seta image_diffusePicMip "-2"
seta image_bumpPicMip "-2"
seta image_globalPicMip "-2"
seta image_picMip "-2"
this solved the problem where everything either looked white or orange :P

also found out you cannot ; commands starting with _
for example you cannot bind x "_attack ; _prone"
basicly all the movement and action commands cannot be combined

Even though it was white, it ran brilliantly before
You could always do a cvar_reset
:(
cvar_restart
image_specularPicMip "-2"
image_diffusePicMip "-2"
image_bumpPicMip "-2"
image_globalPicMip "-2"
image_picMip "-2"
to "-2" i still have white buildings, etc.. how come? :x
