What set of options and console commands help the most in improving frames per seconds in id Tech 3 games (that is, Quake 3 and derivates)?

Do you care whether or not you lose massive amounts of quality? You could reduce texture sizes and resolution. – McKay Jul 14 '10 at 15:02
That would be an acceptable answer @McKay. – badp♦ Jul 14 '10 at 15:15
I'm not as familiar with the quake console, so I would be unable to provide specific answers. But you can go into the video options, and change those things manually. – McKay Jul 14 '10 at 15:45

Here is an autoexec.cfg generator that explains what some of the options do as well.

Here is also another site that lists the configs and explains them.

The main console command is r_picmip, this will increase FPS most overall. Here is an example of picmip 5

Is it a glitch in Chrome or the letter spacing in that website is horribly large? – badp♦ Jul 14 '10 at 15:16
It is horrible in firefox as well. – Ólafur Waage Jul 14 '10 at 15:35
