Hi All,
I´m posting this, because after 15 hours of reinstalling nvidia drivers and arma, playing with start parameters, windows power and graphics settings and various other things, im starting to get desperate:
I have about 1500 hrs of playing arma3 and I never had a performance problem like this.
Yesterday I spent some time in the game without problems (ExileMod ~40 FPS). Later in the day I rebooted my pc after fetching the latest windows 10 updates and started the game again (I did not change anything, other than the windows update). The game was unplayable at 3-4 FPS. Taskmanager showed arma using about 12% CPU and 2% GPU (according to HWMonitor my 1080TI only pulled 60W). Here is my setup according to the Arma-Log:

I tried a lot of stuff, from uninstalling the windows updates to reinstalling arma. I played around with nvidia settings, windows settings, arma settings (default and custom). Ingame setting changes did almost nothing, even with everything low and on 1024x768 resolution -> 7-8 FPS.
I tried another 3d Game (Hell Let Loose) -> 80 FPS
Then I tried DayZStandalone (never had any issues, nothing changed since I last played it some days ago) and there I had the same low framerates as well (while my cpu was relaxing at 12% and GPU at 2%).
I googled for hours and tried most voodoo tips and tricks I could find, nothing helped, not even a glimpse of hope. Hope anyone can help 😵

Edit2: I also deleted arma config files multiple times and started from scratch -> same results
