HI, in your AA settings, don't use SSAA...it's very hard on the graphics card especially in night conditions with dynamic lighting enabled. Experiment with MSAA settings instead.

Go to your Display settings in P3D.
In the AA option, in the box select MSAA instead of SSAA.

Yes..MSAA is better for the load on the graphics card. Does it make a difference?

Set frame rate to 30. At unlimited you have your system slamming out 1920x1080 sized images as fast as it can process, which can definitely max out your hardware.

You also didn't show us your Lighting settings... which are also a major impact.

yes it helped

GPU load in default scene is 55-60% when fps lock on 30

and my Lighting settings is:

Thank you very much for you idea. But sad, that my really good configuration given me only 30 fps :(

I was having the same problem with dual GTX 1070s...here's my settings that seem to work great (loads and temps are down to midrange now)

AA: 4XMSAA
Texture: 8x (bringing this down was the biggest load improvement for me)
Texture Resolution: 4096
VSync On, No Triple buffering
Target Frame rate at 60fps

Also for lighting, turn of dynamic reflections...that's a big one too.

Dynamic lighting, HDR...all that other stuff didn't affect my load or fps rates much, so I have them on. Again, biggest things for the load for me was the texture and dynamic reflections.
