Repeated Rendering Device Lost

[Fess-2433]

Hi!

I have been having this problem going on now for maybe 3-4 days now, prior to this the game ran just fine and it seems to only affect Overwatch. Around this time I downloaded the latest NVIDIA drivers as well as Windows update but other than that no other big changes or anything.

My graphics card is a NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1060 6GB, and as far as I can tell this dosen’t seem to be an overheating problem. The GPU reaches a temperature of about 65 - 75 and its often when it reaches those higher temperatures that the rendering devices lost pops up. From what I understand though that’s not such a high temperature at all.

I am at the end of my rope here and I feel like I have tried various methods and nothing is working.

I have tried removing old drivers and installing “Clean” new ones. I have tried cleaning the inside of the computer with compressed air. I have tried running an earlier version of the driver but nothing works.

You definitely hit up all possible troubleshooting that I would normally recommend so thank you for that. One last step I am going to recommend is to clear your game video settings then relaunch Overwatch. This will force Overwatch to build a new video settings profile based on your current driver version and setup.

Aside from that, I recommend getting the Power Supply Unit looked at…

• If the graphic card is not receiving sufficient power. Generally, this seems to be caused by, Insufficient PSU (power supply unit), Failing PSU or improperly seated GPU.

1. Check to make sure the PSU has enough wattage to power the hardware in the PC, especially when the GPU is under load.
2. Make sure the GPU is properly seated.
3. A local computer tech can test the PSU to see if it is failing.
