Render device lost recently

I’ve been playing for about two hours with no crashes so far. Below was the response from my ticket. Hopefully it fixes the issue.

1) Typically it’s a good idea to make sure we are working with a clean driver without any older files that can sometimes cause conflicts. Do a clean driver install by running DDU: Then install the latest driver
2) Next, change the Nvidia settings which has helped resolve some of these TDR errors for the new 2080 cards:
• Right click on the desktop and launch NVIDIA Control Panel → Manage 3D settings.
• Go to Program Settings tab.
• Select the game to change the graphics processor under “Select a program to customize”. If it’s not is not available, select the specific game from the drop down list.
• Select your “Prefer maximum performance” graphics card under “Power management”.
• Set Threaded optimization - off
• Set Triple buffering - off
• Set Vertical sync - off
• Set Maximum pre rendered frames - 3

  1. Reset the Overwatch settings to set everything back to default: Blizzard Support - Resetting In-Game Options

If this persists, it’s likely to be a hardware issue, so contacting Nvidia directly or a local PC tech would be the next best step.
