Battlefield 1 video card issue

[lincsman]

Hi there, not sure if this should be here or in the video game section, but given as the issue is a failure of the video card as windows says it's going here. As is in my signature, the video card I'm using is a GTX 770 2GB. I have no issues with any other games. The game crashes with an error saying that there was a directx 11 error and that the video card has crashed. I read that doing a clean installation of the driver should work, but I did that before and I suppose it worked well enough but I don't want to bother with reinstalling the driver I just installed less than a week ago in case it might work. I only started playing the game much at all in the last week and it seems as though this problem keeps happening all the time. Sometimes the game runs for a solid 45 minutes without issue. Sometimes it doesn't last 20 minutes. I'm planning on a new build so I'm going to spend some money coming in on a 1070 and use it in my system and then transfer it to a new one when I decide to build. Maybe that will fix it maybe it won't. Not sure what to do here. I have the game running smooth enough, not as smooth as BF4 of course, but on ultra settings 1080p. So maybe the card is crashing because of the settings with only 2GB of VRAM? Not really any idea here and before running tests I thought I'd ask here. Thanks.

I think I fixed it. After buying more RAM I turned of the RAM limiter. It at least worked unlike before but I read about it in the game and it said "GPU RAM limiter." It also said unchecking this may cause system instability. Well I only have 2GB so I unchecked it. Much faster frame rates and just played for an hour no crashing.

I have the same card as you, except mine is a 4GB.
I've had the same issues as you, next time when you start BF1 go to Options>Settings>AdvanceSettings.
You will see 2 bars, one set at 100% and the other set to 50%

The bar that is at 100% You need to lower it to 50%
Turn off shadows and lower anything that you can, find what works for you. It still might crash and it will look like crap but you can still play it. I read somewhere lots of people with the 770 are having the same issues, I also readsomewhere that they may be working on fixing the issue, although I cant tell if thats truth or not.

I think your either going to have to play on lower settings, or get a new card that can handle the game better.
It sucks because for the first 30 hours or so, I could run it fine. Then a new patch came and I started getting crashes often like you.
