Also, check your Displayrefresh, saw when i made your rtcw cfg that it was on 125 :D bit high imo :p
Parent
your display refresh is set to high
Sounds like a cfg problem.
go see if there is something in your config that outrages the pc specs or graphic card

-test it on another game, for instance if your desktop is 1024*768 run need for speed/fifa( or another game) in fullscreen with a different resolution
must be cfg prob . try other resolution and refresh rate ingame
