Battlefield probably doesn't know which GPU to select and is choosing the Intel GPU instead of Nvidia GPU.
Try disabling the Intel GPU in BIOS. It's usually an option called integrated GPU or iGPU. You want to use the discrete Nvidia GPU instead.
As you can see from that error message i added it is related to Nvidia RTX 4060 Laptop GPU. I did had same feeling about that integrated gpu and i kno it have been causing issues with many game.
We did try to force Battlefield to use only NVidia GPU from Control Panel and Nvidia App(you can't change from both anyway) but not much luck with that.

I didn't realize the PC is a laptop. Here's a post to help explain how laptops usually route the discrete GPU (Nvidia) through the integrated GPU (Intel). Some laptops have a Mux Switch which allows the discrete GPU to bypass the integrated GPU.
What's the laptop's model number? I'll try looking up if it has a Mux Switch. You can also try plugging a HDMI monitor into the laptop and see if that will allow the discrete Nvidia GPU to bypass the integrated Intel GPU.
If it looks like the Nvidia GPU is being used in Windows Task Manager, then perhaps it's simply an Nvidia GPU driver crash. I'd try installing a different Nvidia GPU driver version such as an earlier driver version.
Other things can cause the GPU driver to crash, such as RAM errors in main system memory. Memory testing app such as HCI MemTest can test for memory errors.

It is not a laptop it is mini-PC where is most hardware from laptop.. I installed Nvidia driver version 566.36 and used clean installation.. Also restarted pc after that.
I have tried all newer driver versions on my pc but i have found that this 566.36 is the last good one before all those new AI features that are not needed.
Even Viewer is full of PresentMon.exe errors as well. So that is most likely related to it - lNAPPROPRlATE3 months agoSeasoned Veteran
As far as i know Intel X830 doesn't have Mux Switch.
Things we tried:
- Performed clean graphics driver installation.
- Disabled integrated graphics from BIOS.
- After restart confirmed from Device Manager and Task Manager that only one GPU is being used and that's Nvidia RTX 4060
Any other suggestions?
This same following crash occurred same way not long after spawning into online session:- OskooI_0073 months agoSeasoned Ace
The mini PC appears to be manufactured by Sinbun.

I can't find the manufacturer's website to download drivers.
