Rendering device not found

So my brand new Vyper Series: 17.3" Matte Full HD 144Hz arrived week ago:

NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2070 SUPER - 8.0GB GDDR6 Video RAM - DirectX® 12.1

Intel® Core™ i7 Eight Core Processor 10875H (2.3GHz, 5.1GHz Turbo)

16GB Corsair 2133MHz SODIMM DDR4 (2 x 8GB)

512GB PCS PCIe M.2 SSD (2000 MB/R, 1100 MB/W)

It was running games like Battlefield 5, Need For Speed Heat, Witcher 3 etc., on really good graphics with high performance. The temperature was fine(never above 90) for both CPU and GPU. And few days ago when I installed CoD Warzone it crashed to the desktop with "Error 6068". Even Overwatch is not running showing error "Rendering device not foun". Since then I cant run any high performance games anymore. It works good on Heroes Of The Storm and Diablo 3 and it actually shows that the card is being used with those games.
I did full clean reboot of windows, installed drivers up to date, set in Nvidia Control Panel to use my High Performance Graphic card and still nothing.
I took it to IT specialist in my city and they were clueless. They just said it is not Hardware and they cant do anything.
Please help guys :(

It does look like hardware to me, since you already clean installed and did the steps that I would have done. The thermal limit of the GPU is usually around 85°, so it will never go above 90 anyway :p . Was your GPU reaching 85 frequently? Even though, I don't think that it would be a reason for damage (especially in only a week of usage), as the GPU itself should be able to throttle down to keep temperatures on the limit.

When you clean installed Windows, how did you do that?

From where did you source the drivers?

I rebooted it two days ago. All the drivers I downloaded from PC Specialist website. Nvidia drivers from Nvidia website.

I would suggest a fully clean install from bootable media using the latest 20H2 version of Windows 10. Choose a custom install and delete all UEFI partitions. Select the unallocated space that results and click the Next button, the installer will create the correct partition structure and install Windows.

Once Windows is installed run Windows Update repeatedly (even across reboots) until no more updates are found. That will install all drivers, though you may want to check for a later graphics driver on the Nvidia website.

See whether that makes any difference? :)

This is shown after rebooting system as you said when I want to launch the game.

How are you installing windows?

When you say "rebooting windows" that just means powering it off and on again.

I meant clean reinstall of windows as UBUYSA told me to do. Sorry for my English... And also now the fan is completely silent. Like there is no power in GPU but it shows that it works fine in the Task Manager.

What method did you take to clean install? Can you go through the process?

I went to Windows Settings - Recovery - Reset this PC - Remove everything.
After that I installed the system from the Windows that was already in the laptop when I bought it.
After that installed all the updates for Windows and after the Nvidia drivers.

That's not a clean install and will leave any problems that are already there.

You need to do a clean install from method 1 here by downloading the latest image from microsoft and booting the installation, then delete all partitions on the C drive and clean install to the remaining space:

Driver Booster 8.1 and Nvidia from their website

Ok, driver booster is pretty much malware and should never be used.

The ONLY way to install drivers is directly from the manufacturers website, or in this case, the system integrator.

You'll need to do a clean install again from scratch as your drivers will be all messed up. Then run windows update to find what drivers it can, then once there are none left to install, take a screenshot of your device manager IF there are any unknown devices and we'll go from there.

Ok, thanks. I will continue tomorrow then. But Driver Booster was always fine with previous laptops and PC's.

It may well have been, but it should never be used.

A good malware won't show any symptoms, you'll never know it's installed. It will do all it's nasty stuff in the background.

Is Driver Booster a good program or should I trust the Windows updates?

Answer (1 of 5): A2A: I have always been extremely suspicious of all those 3rd party driver maintenance services. (One thing which makes me suspicious is just how many of them there are and the fact that they are not really needed.) You can’t be sure of what you are installing. If you think Windo...

How reliable is Driver Booster 6 from IOBIT?

Hello, Since its hard to find new drivers for some motherboard, or even on Support page are still outdated few years as IOBIT reports, is that true or not? Is it even worth it using IOBIT? Is there any other similar software that is more reliable than it?
