New patch and still same issues. I turned down all of the graphics settings and followed the suggestions in the Nvidia Control Panel. Game still goes to the Renderer error. Dang it.

Could it be that I am running two monitors? When playing Civ, I don't have anything running on that screen so I wouldn't expect that to cause issues.
I'm also running two monitors, but generally when I playgames, I only run one at a time.
Just tried to keep the other monitor ON for a change - no diff.
That error message just started appearing for me today. I have been running Gods and Kings since last week and it was fine. Today it is crashing every 10-15 minutes. I have a 9800GT. I tried updating my nvidia driver to 301.42, but it had no effect.
Dxdiag attached.

Things are going well then hit render error again when I clicked on espionage icon after Washington Stole a tech in the late game. Game was loading up the leader as is usual when these crashes happen.
I left terrain texture on low but had bumped up leaders to medium this time. Last game I had finished with my problems leaving both on low, but leaders were so fugly, like weathermen infront of a green screen XD
DXdiag was posted earlier in this thread.

Had a long run on all-High graphics @ 1920x1200, 4xAA - over an hour. Only change was (i think) turning OFF VSync.
My GPU was running flat out for most of the time though, up over 90'C - which is definitely too hot for sustained usage.

Argh my solution was only temporary! Then not only my games but you tube videos started crashing too. I got an RMA for my graphics card, nothing is working without driver reset errors now
Best of luck to you. As I noted I seriously doubted that was a "fix" or a solution. If you get your money back I personally would go for the Gigabyte or Asus card over that of the KFA.
Again good luck, especially in getting a refund.
This started happening to me yesterday. First in G&K, then in one other application (but I couldn't reproduce it outside of G&K at all).
Win 7 32bit
Geforce 8800GT
3.02 GHz AMD Athlon x2 6000+
I'm pretty sure G&K is the cause at this point.
edit: Can play regular Civ5 just fine. I guess its up to Firaxis now to fix it.

I'm not sure if this helps anyone experiencing the render error but I've appeared to have fixed my issue with this error; 5 hours playing so far with no crash.
I am running a GeForce 8800 GTX, Win 7 64bit, and just updated my drivers to 304.79 Beta from Guru3D.
I changed the leader scene quality setting from the options within the game to minimal also. All other options are as default, no turning down of textures, etc.
Hope this may help some people having problems.

Good post.
The nVidia site also has the driver available in their Beta drivers. It's not WHQL, so install at own risk, but the release notes for the driver specifically indicate that it has a compatability fix for Civ 5 for 400 and 500 series GeForce cards. I've downloaded it, will have a try.

Using a 9800GT and Civ V @ 1920x1080 will require some eye candy settings to be reduced for a more fluid experience.
Also your GPU drivers are almost as old as the card..... 7/14/2009
As you snipped the DX Diag you can check out and update, if required, your audio drivers.
