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:

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*
I have a Nvidia and have the same crash so it is not GPU specific. If you check more toward the beginning of this thread it was a pretty 50/50 split
