You idiots! How many years have passed and you still haven't found a solution for the GTX 1650ti graphics card?! It crashes at least 6-7 times every time I play. I even installed a new Windows 11 software because of it. If you're still making money from this game, you have to provide the necessary support!

First Rule, WINDOWS 11 IS GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Second Rule, If you have money, You should at least get a RTX 2060 to keep up with upcoming AAA Online games. But go for a RTX 3060 12b because it has 12gb and has decent brute force to play AAA Games and has acess to DLSS 4.5 (BUT NO MULTI-FRAMEGEN)
Not to mention a RTX 2060 and 3060 is suported for all games.
Now tell me what country you where from so i can understand the problematic of gett and rtx 2060.

NVIDIA discontinues GeForce GTX 16 GPUs, the end of GTX series
[videocardz.com]
Published: Mar 5th 2024
the GTX series has reached
"End-of-Life"
and the 20's series have been already superseded / obsoleted by 30's series, too
the RTX 20 series are next, soon, to reach "End-of-Life", as 16's and 20's series are based on same architecture .., so get
AT LEAST
a RTX 3080 or better RTX 4070x or 4080x and a fitting CPU (minimum Intel 11th Gen) to be ~for at least~ semi-future proofed
STAY AWAY
from any GIGABYTE GPUs, they are cheap trash and causes failures
!!
USE
MSI, Zotac, ASUS (TUF / ROG) for Desktop GPUs
what can you actually try?
try again to clean install latest NVIDIA GPU drivers, if it still does not work .. upgrade GPU
https://www.nvidia.com/en-eu/drivers/
also a complete full & fresh clean OS install helps ..
and for gaming, WIndows 11 is "generally" better to be used than Windows 10
W10 has fully reached "End-of-Life", too, as well as Windows 11 23H2
You need at least Windows 11 24H2, 25H2 is current, and 26H2 releases in a few months
and additionally to be mentioned, AMD has caused many issues lately, if GPU, CPU and Motherboards .. you will find many topics on Steam as well as from Steam itself
and towards your crashing issues, it sounds like a
"LEVEL 3"
thermal throtteling issue
!!
check your CPU temperatures, at best with
HWiNFO
[www.hwinfo.com]
(sensors only) and run it in background, play a game, check temperatures ..
LEVEL 1:
your CPU overheats and causes thermal throtteling, cores are shutdown briefly to prevent (further) damage which can cause performance loss at the very first stage
LEVEL 2:
your games minimize automatically
LEVEL 3:
crashes running processes and/or applications
LEVEL 4:
is a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death >> Black Screen of Death)
LEVEL 5
:
causes (permanent) hardware damage due to heat and shuts down your machine
LEVEL 6
, and the final stage:
your CPU is literally melting and/or burning
your first steps to probably fix this?
- UPDATE YOUR
'BIOS / UEFI'
FIRMWARE TO LATEST VERSION !!
- INSTALL & USE LATEST CPU & GPU DRIVERS
- CLEAN YOUR MACHINE FROM ANY DUST, CAREFULLY
- CHECK IF ALL WIRES & HARDWARE ARE PLUGGED-IN CORRECTLY
additionally:
your CPU may never exceed 90°C~92°C
your GPU may never exceed 80°C~85°C
you might need to underclock and if possible to undervolt (max -0.025V) your beasty CPU ..
your CPU needs to work harder if you set max settings to your GPU ..

You need to chill TF out there kiddo. You even realize how old that card is and how its EoS/EoL? PC Components don't last forever and more importantly, aren't supported forever. They also DO NOT have to provide any support to people using old and outdated hardware. The RTX series now has 4 generations. Your card was nearly 3 years old when this game launched, thats a recipe for pain.
Im also willing to bet its not so much your GPU as it is you're entire system spec. Its very CPU heavy and will immediately choke systems that are weak in that department.

What is the rest of your system spec?

Now tell me what country you where from so i can understand the problematic of gett and rtx 2060.
Apparently he is from Turkey.
Regardless, hes using an archaic GPU and yelling at the wall to make himself feel better. Hope it helped as we're likely to never get a response from him.

Because is 1650TI. 1660 Super not have all of this problems. 1660S is Captain America, 1650TI is GROOT. + You have old VRAM - GDDR5. 1660S have GDDR6.

Thank you so much for your help. My graphics card might be old, but the fact that it keeps shutting down is driving me crazy. I need a new RTX series card so I can play BF6. Thanks again for your 🫶

Dude went from a $200 gpu to a $2500 gpu. Don't believe it.

i kind do....seen many things like this over the last 25 years of PC building....like a rich guy buying a prebuilt and him bringing it to me to get it running right.....he showed up with a 1660ti and a 5500 none X CPU......i ended up building him a 9800X3D with a 4090.....his prebuilt is now my loaner PC.....

Bro saying the 20s are obsolete. Well I might have made a mistake bc I bought a 2080 super which is better than a 3060. Go learn about Hardware before talking
