Graphical glitch on dx8

I used to play on dx81 but switched to dx98 during the mm beta. (and gx81 worked fine)

I've tried to launch the game on gx81 now and it's a bit laggy, but after a few seconds everything works perfectly. But if I play for more than approx. 30 minutes stuff like this happens several times each second:

Random junk, like wierdly stretched out and cropped parts of the map, or hud elements appear on the screen a few frames per second. These glitches are hard to capture with screenshots (and I can barely upload videos from my pc) so if I take 100 screenshots the glitch will only appear at like 3 or 4 of them.
I have been unsuccessful with capturing the hud elements graphical glitch and shit but I'm gonna try and replicate it in paint:

Needless to say not being able to see my crosshair, other people, the map and my hud during games is extremely hindering for gameplay. Anyone know any fix/had this problem?

I use Comanglia's FPS' config in case that's relevant.

trippy

happens on any other games? try stress-testing using heaven to see if you notice any artifacts after a while. could also try other source games like l4d2

Whenever I got graphics issues like that, it was always because my graphics cards would be well used and overheating then. Try cooling your computer a bit better if possible (and of course try reducing the load a bit more) and see if that makes a difference.

^ Basically his solution. Your game is under heavy artifacting which is largely attributed to your GPU dying or being pushed too hard. I've never read of a gpu artifacting under tf2's load but if you have no dedicated gpu/use an igpu that could be your problem. Perhaps underclock your gpu and see if the problem goes away?

Also check your temperature for it through your preferred methods.
