Well, the game can only look so good right... but, if you hvent already, go to your GPU control panel and max force all the settings possible and set everything to max detail.

Some things I found on Tweakguides a while ago to increase the draw distance:

cl_detaildist (range) - Determines the range at which detail props are shown (e.g. grass). Reducing this setting can increase performance, and conversely increasing this setting will improve image quality through more detail at the cost of performance.

cl_detailfade (range) - Determines the range at which detail props fade into view. Increasing this value can raise performance.

cl_maxrenderable_dist (distance) - Specifies the maximum distance from the camera at which things will be rendered. The smaller the number, the less will be rendered, improving performance (cheat).Tweakguides
