Game Blue Screen of Death my Alienware R4 15 laptop.
It used to be at first but I once I get past the window that syncs my game information, a few seconds later during the loading, it hangs and I have to force reset it. If I leave it there a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION Blue screen will pop up. I can’t basically play Gears on my laptop.

Then on my desktop, I get a pop up basically warning me with the following:
"We have detected that you may encounter problems playing the Game. Your PC doesn’t meet the minimum requirements in the following area;
The installed NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 graphics driver has known compatability problems. Please visit the graphics card manufacturer to update to the latest driver.
NVIDIA GForce GTX 1070 - 430.86 is installed.
(Code: GW501)"
So, please, don’t tell me you’re going to make your customers have to upgrade their systems when basically every other game in existence runs fine, even other Unreal Engine Games, what does Gears 4 and 5 have that they won’t run properly on PASCAL cards?

Like I’m worried that now all the effor is going to AMD and screw NVIDIA owners since they’re forced to upgrade, and not just that, YOU GUYS ARE LAUNCHING GAMES ON PC, look at the Steam Graphics Card Demographics for example:

the 10XX series cards are the most used, WHY has this not been a priority? I love you to death guys but this need to be dealt with. I have a gaming laptop that can’t pay the game and a Desktop that will be crashing with the game just Like Gears 4 did, thank god I got an Xbox one X but still the input latency is so big, it’s not fun.
I hope you guys are able to fix this or give a response on the matter because I was looking forward on playing on PC because I did ran the game on my desktop and I excellent performance results and I’ve been working towards upgrading my rig but there’s a lot of people still with the 10XX series and having the game freeze over and over and basically unplayable like Gears 4…
NOTE: Both my machines had a month old drivers, I updated them and same results. Same issues as Gear 4 as well.
