    Does anyone playing experience this random white streak running from top to bottom in TF2? It almost looks like it is part of the game but then again, that does not make sense. It just starts at the top and runs to the bottom in about one second then its gone...for another couple minutes at least.

    I'll try the next time I play. It's so random that I'll have to work on it.

    My settings are default recommended, and 1680x1050. Also my card is over clocked as per my sig. I get wonderful game play, no artifacts, just this random white thick line occasionally.

    its quite possible that the white streak is an artifact, the result of your overclocked gpu.

    My gpu seems to stay in an acceptable temp range 65-80max during long game play. I will play @ regular settings and try the overclock this week and see if anything changes.

    i feel like the white streak is supposed to solidify into words of some sort and your system just isn't doing it. that's weird. i havnt played tf2 in a solid 2 weeks or so but that specific white streak seems very familiar to the game. just not...the way you see it.
