Would be helpful you guys and girls also mention your GPU.
So for me and besides this DXGI error in BF6 I also now got crashes when playing the game Mechabellum (crashes without any error message). For BF6 I tried nearly any workaround out there.
I have a brand new pc and also a RX9070XT.
So I thought this can't be a coincidence. And it seems (research) the RX9070XT has heavy problems across any manufacturer brand when the card exceeds its recommended max boost clock speed (2970 MHz) which causes instability while gaming but everything is fine while benchmarking (here the max boost speed is never even being reached or exceeded - only in games:

https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/comments/1khcip2/9070_xt_gpu_clock_reaching_to_3300mhz_causing/
I confirmed this via logging the GPU sensors' data and the crashes in BF6 and Mechabellum only occur when >3000 MHz are reached with my GPU sample.
For BF6 the sensor data shows the crash does not happen when the clock speed exceeds the 3000 MHz mark every now and then but when it crashes the clock speed was always above that magic mark of 3000 MHz.
For Mechabellumg the boost was even higher when crashing (3300 MHz!).
So there might be any correlation and even causality.
To confirm this I then reduced the Max Frequency Offset in AMD adrenaline tuning settings to the minimum (-500 MHz) and I was immediately able to play 3 rounds of BF6 in a row (until I quit the game by myself - so no crash here for now). I didn't try this workaround before.
I will monitor that workaround in both games now and might come back here.
If I won't encounter any crash again I will RMA the card and if the replacement does the same I will give the card back to the retailer and get a Nvidia.
*insert "AMD you were the chosen one" meme*
You are hunting ghosts. Its not a AMD problem. You just have a "affordable" top tier GPU. as many others. Many gamers have this DX Problem and many choose this card. thats why this GPU is more present then others. You have players with 1060ti wo have this problem aswell. There is no GPU without that problem. Every Nvidia (20xx, 30xx, 40xx, and 50xx) an every Amd GPU. I have the Problem with my 4070 Mobile and with my 7900XTX. There also people with 5090 with that problem. Well i never saw a Intel GPU in these Dx diags...

so this is an actual "game issue" not actually related to anyone's hardware or settings etc.? since the latest update ive been continuing to get this error maybe once or twice a week, if play longer than usual in one day I may get the error more than usual.
I have a
amd ryzen 5 7600x3d , amd radeon powercolor rx 9060 xt with 32 gb ddr5 ram msi board and im not playing overclocked or with anything crazy.

Its an engine Problem. This Error occured in other games with Frostbite Engine aswell. EA knows this Problem for years. It just never happend in that extent. Actual you have it with Bf6, Madden and Ea FC. Changing your Hardware can work but there is no "use this Setup and it works". I tried a 5070 and had the same problems. Amd or NVidia GPU Amd or Intel CPU and so on the combinations are endless and that is actuall the biggest problem for EA.
Just for fun this is a DX Problem from 2017 Battlefront ( Frostbite engine). look familiar right?

Alright so my hardware and what not is not the issue???
It makes no sense. Some days the game runs for 10 hours fine no crashes some days it’s every 2-3 hours.and yes it’s a message similar

I am not hunting ghosts in my case.
Actually more games were crashing in my case (brand new pc with a RX9070XT). Besides BF6 also Mechabellum and Fallout 4 wer affected - didn't try more games so far.The gpu was running on default settings in AMD adrenaline driver. Workarounds like clean driver reinstallation did not help.
But after reducing the core clock max. frequency offset to -500 MHz for testing purposes all crashes were gone. I was immediately able to play BF6 for >10 rounds and not a single crash happended. Same for the other games.
So in my case there is an issue with my GPU sample (bios, silicon, driver, ...) which allows to reach too high core clocks. As I also mentioned this seems to be a widely happening problem (see my links in my original post).So I would recommened to monitor and log the GPU clock frequency via HWMonitor or similar and after the game crashes to have a look at it. You can identify the moment (row) the game crashes im the sensor data when the GPU load/utilization drops from some high values to nearly 0%.

Dude do whatever you want. Its a fact that its not a Driver or GPU problem. EA staff said that already. its just to many variants of PC Setup and "Trigger Points" for that Crash. 99% of 9070XT Users dont have that problem. For some works x for others y. we try that since the beta there is just no working solution for everybody

I never said that the solution working for me is the general solution for everyone out there. Instead I explicitly mentioned that it helps in _my_ case.
It's just feedback so that during these days of thousands of **bleep** workaround suggestions those with an AMD card have a confirmed and easily applied workaround which may also work for them and should be considered trying.
