There are SOME games that may appear to have tearing of the textures, often 
with black lines in the torn looking edges.  Enabling VSync will help that 
issue.  However, the problem might turn up with my system and not yours with 
the same game.   I'm glad your system is bullish enough to do Quake in high 
res without vsync :)
BTW-  GLQuake cannot do 32 bit color depth in any resolution higher than 
800x600.  But the game itself is 16 bit depth so just play it with 
1280x1024-16 like I do.  Looks pretty good, especially since the day when I 
was running at 320x240-16 and tweaking like crazy to get a couple more 
frames per second!   Who back then would have though we'd be playing it 
maxed out in hundreds of frames per second?! LOL!
