Please try use -nobenchmark command line option.

Right click on Arma III in your Steam Library>Properties>Set launch options

Can you please attach your dxdiag and rpt file from this folder? C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Alpha\
Thank you

Ok, I tested some more and understand the problem little bit better.

FAILS, TEST SITUATION 1: No start parameter, clean start after installation, nothing in registry or cfg files under "Arma 3 Alpha" in my Documents. Display driver crash.

WORKS, TEST SITUATION 2A: Start parameter "-nobenchmark" and clean start after installation, nothing in registry or cfg files under "Arma 3 Alpha" in my Documents.

WORKS, TEST SITUATION 2B: No start parameter, registry filled and cfg files in "Arma 3 Alpha" in my Documents. Everything works.

---

WORKS, TEST SITUATION 3A: Disable GPU2 (no restart), no start parameter, clean start after installation, nothing in registry or cfg files under "Arma 3 Alpha" in my Documents.

WORKS, TEST SITUATION 3B: Enabled GPU2 again, no start parameter, registry filled and cfg files in "Arma 3 Alpha" in my Documents. Everything works.

i haven't seen this issue, im using NVIDIA Surround enabled
Tested with GTX560 TI and GTX760 TI, both works fine.

@naguar does the issue still appear?

OP disappeared. Seems to no longer be relevant.
