Sometimes when playing, ArmA gets a roughly 16 seacond long lag spike, which after the game looks like crap (flat surfaces) and the fps is reduced to 5 at max. I noticed that my GPU use drops to idle at the exact same time as the game starts the lag spike. I guess the game switches to use onboard video. No crash happens, no crash logs created after service shutdown. This can happen between 1-2 times in an hour.

Hello,
could you try these solution one-by-one:
- re-install your GPU drivers (or uninsatll and install again)
- plug monitor to discrete graphic card (I suppose you got it already)
- try plug your GPU to TV via HDMI cable and investigate if the issue persist
- you may need to disable the onboard graphics in the BIOS if you havent already. This will make sure the two graphics devices are not conflicting
- disabling the onboard graphics in the BIOS and directly connecting the monitor to the discrete card should work
- disable Crossfire mode, if you're allowed
- decreasing you game graphic quality should create a more video memory space that should avoid crashes
You can try the last possible solution called All in One Runtimes tool.
- Download All in One Runtimes
- Tool will repair your Visual C++, Java SE, Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Shockwave Player, Silverlight, DirectX
- Restart computer
- Uninstall the tool
- Launch the game
Let me know if the issue will still persist.
Thank you for report.
