fraps would be the first that pops to mind. you could also use msi afterburner.

cpucount and exthreads are in there for troubleshooting. Also tried the unparking thing with cpupark or whatever the program is called and it yielded nothing but bluescreens for me. Using a 1230v3.

All of this is well known at this point. Most of the things don't even do anything or are not necessary. cpucount, exthreads don't need to be set for example, they are automatically detected.

Doesn't matter. Don't set it at all or set it to 4 or 8 or 4096. Arma won't use the virtual cores.

Upgraded to a Xeon 1230v3. If I had had an AM3+ Board I might have gone for an FX-8320.

Low end and midrange Crossfire/SLI is useless. It's better to have one strong card than two mediocre ones. For 200 bucks you can get a 7950 at the moment which is a really good bang for the buck. Same performance as GTX760 which is a slight bit more expensive. However, have you tried lowering your graphic settings to check if it is really your GPU that is limiting your performance? I've had a phenom II x4 as well and arma 3 ran like shit in MP. My GTX660 was idling away at 20% Usage.

i5 would sufficient. I've got an i7 (a xeon to be specific) and the HT cores don't do anything.

List all of your video settings.

It could be the server. It might not have been updated to the latest version. You can still join non-hotfixed servers with your hotfixed version. Played another 4 hours and still no crash. Wasteland none the less, so lots of exploding stuff. Also didn't see a lot of people getting timed out/kicked for steam ticket. Just the usual 1 or 2, but not like 20 in quick succession. on 50+ player servers.

Reporting in: 4 hours contious play, not a single crash. hotfix worked for me (so far?).

Might be the server hasn't updated yet. You can still join pre-hotfix servers which will still have the PhysX3_x86.dll crash.

? The patch that is supposed to fix the physx crashes was released today to the dev branch.

google translate most likely

I'm not a dev, so no clue when it will make its way into the main branch or if the hotfix that they put into the dev branch is actually working. You'll have to wait like everyone else I'm afraid.

Like it says. It's in the dev branch only at the moment. Once the hotfix is confirmed to be working, it will be carried over to the main branch.
