I just bought the game 2 days ago, and I’m having this same rendering device lost error very frequently. I also have an older system with a 660TI. I’ve tried the recommendations in this thread, but it looks like either my issue is slightly different (I’m not getting any better results after making changes) or my situation is worse. I don’t play too many games on this machine anymore, most recent was the Witcher 3; it ran great.
