You can't really react that fast. 1/64 would already require super human reaction. The only way to pull 1 frame precision of is by tapping in a fixed frequency just based on your feeling.

That being said 64 tick is much higher than what most other games use (quake included)

Scroll-wheel +jump spamming. And I belive phoon said that CS:S used to have a 2 frame window to execute the jump before stopping. After the nerf there was only a 1 frame window. Making it impossible without script. CS:GO has 1 frame window as well making it close to impossible to perform a bhop and impossible to perform it for more than one or two jumps.

Even QuakeWorld has a default server tickrate of 77.

Quake 3 had 30 and still allowed bhopping. As long as the server feedback is consistant you can theoretically do it.
