Certain Redditors believe that GPU crash error might be tied to the Timeout Detection and Recovery (TDR) limit, where Windows automatically resets your GPU if it takes more than 2 seconds to process a command. Here's how you can fix this issue.

• Search for the Run application on your windows and open it.
• Type regedit in the application and click on OK
• Find the GraphicsDrivers option in the Registry Edit Tool. The path should be Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers
• Look for the Registry Key called TdrDelay. If you cannot find it, create one by right-clicking and then New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
• Set the Base to Decimal and the Value of TdrDelay to 60. Click OK to finish
• Find the second Registry Key called TdrDdiDelay. If you cannot find it, create one by right-clicking and then New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
• Repeat the process by setting the Base to Decimal and the Value of TdrDdiDelay to 60. Click OK to finish.
• Close the registry editor and restart your PC for a likely fix.

Users in the official Marvel Rivals subreddit have speculated that the most probable reason behind the error is Windows resetting the GPU since it's exceeding the TDR limit. This is mainly caused by Unreal Engine 5 triggering the response, leading to the error.

Another probable reason could be due to memory leaks. Closing background processes that utilize your graphics card should potentially fix the Marvel Rivals GPU crash issue.
