There's some stuff you could try, not limited to the console.

gl_texturemode gl_linear_mipmap_linear (enables trilinear filtering, looks nicer with no ugly mipmap lines and costs little performance).

Try using vsync if you aren't. Under windows XP or 2000 you will default to 60 Hz no matter with most video cards and most drivers, to avoid the problem(it won't even be a problem if using an LCD monitor though) you can use something like refresh lock.

If your using a radeon card you can try and force triple buffering in openGL in the control panel(won't be of any use without vsync on).

You can try different driver revisions(if using ATi I'd recommend trying 3.7 and the latest version, don't really know what to use on nV).

If you are using an ATi card higher than radeon 9000, set ati_subdiv 0 and ati_npatch 0. Truform is no longer enabled in hardware and this will cause significant extra CPU usage and not really look much better which is very bad in a game that is allmost allways CPU limited.
