Most players prefer \r_picmip n (n>7) and <=1024*768 for lower graphics quality. Aiming is a bit better that way with careful combanation of some other cvar settings

Yes is does help playing q3,
r_picmip "10" - only plain walls and your enemies.
cg_fov "120" - blends your screen, so you can see more.

Also use enemy models (keel, tankjr) and some bright enemie colors. That should be it. Smug

There are no "best" settings, its what you like the best... I play with almost the opposite of most of the "good" players...

1600x1200x32 bits
picmip 0
maxfps 125
All quality/effects on, except gibs, blood, shadows, sky, cg_marks off.

When I play on picmip > 5 it just doesnt feel right to me and I can't play as well.

To each his (her) own.
