There are many changes you can make in the conf.ini which will make big differences to the visual quality. Also there is the control panel for your graphics card where you will be able to make some other improvements. To find out how to tweak these various parts you should use the search function, as I believe it has been covered very well before.
There is alot of trial and error involved in tweaking the graphics settings, as it is dependent on your system. There is a program called 'fraps' which displays the games frame rate while you are playing, which will help you in this regard, as for the most part it is a trade off between frame rate and visual quality.
The mod which for me has given the best visual improvement with no negative effect on frame rate is Flushys 'bumpification mod' (beta section) which vastly improves the appearance of all the maps. Also I use McWolf's 'decal shine' and my prefered smoke mod is Goblins fire and smoke.
