I found this on a forum from another game related to the exact crashes listed here and another site explaining some of the detail for testing.
I found this by looking for DXGI crashes in other games
please note:
THIS IS NOT AN INTENDED FIX FOR VRAM OR TEMPERATURE ISSUES
Those issues at the moment seem to be fixed related to lowering settings in game, disabling a lot of check boxes in the graphics settings in game, setting your shader cache in the Nvidia control panel, updating drivers, and other things.
This may solve some of these recent crashing issues associated with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED
Please leave feedback if it helps.
open your registry
in the top section clear the field and paste this or navigate to here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers
create a new key > DWORD 32-bit
name it “TdrDelay”
value = 10
apparently the default value is 2 seconds and is probably too short for bad coding.
the value set to 10 is in seconds. a lot of comments in forums said values between 3-10 seconds were entered with the majority of the posts were 10 with confirmed fixes.
here is a link explaining in some detail.

here is a second link with some instructions using Tdrlevel registry key. I would recommend the delay as well here as numerous reddit gaming posts are saying all that may be needed is the delay.

here is a a link from over 5 years ago on an Nvidia forum roughly the 13th post down.
