either
set r_ignorehwgamma to 0 and use the r_gamma command , which will work if ignorehwgamma is 0 , or fiddle with r_intensity (this makes shiny things shine more, and small changes make larges differences, so try 1.5 etc.)

Pull down the console and type r_gamma 4

Turning on vertex lighting helps from my experience although setting r_gamma higher than the default of 1 will suffice.

Yeah as mentioned. This is because by default the Geforce line of cards render OpenGL very darkly for some reason, way darker than 3dfx cards for instance.
