CPU Usage Spikes!

[tcummings56]

Currently running Windows 10 with a i7-5820K @ 3.30GHz / GTX 1080 / 16 GB Ram. Every game I play runs great with the CPU usage like this

However, when I play Lockheed Prepar3D v3.4 with the latest hotfix my CPU usage spikes like crazy giving me horrible performance>

Does anyone know what would be causing the CPU to spike like this? Thanks!

It's very CPU intensive program.

But does that explain why it continuously spikes?

It does what SW tells him to do, it's never a flat line.

Right but with other games and this software on a different computer runs relatively steady. Not anywhere near the spikes like I am getting with this computer.
