After Effects seems somewhat slow, but hardware utilization is not high
Hello
I have a Ryzen 9 3900X, 32GB of RAM and an RTX3060 with 12GB.
When using motion tracking in After Effects, the whole process seems rather slow. (In tutorial videos I see online it’s always a lot faster.)
So I was asking myself if my hardware is sufficient.
However if I look at the Task Manager while After Effects is working, I see a CPU utilization of only 7-10%, GPU utilization somewhere between 0 and 30%, almost no load on the storage device and a RAM utilization that starts low but eventually reaches 32GB (but only after maybe 15 mins of tracking) - but once it reached 32GB it doesn’t appear to slow down After Effects.
So my question is: Given that my current hardware doesn’t seem to be utilized very much while After Effects is “Tracking” - does it really make sense to upgrade the hardware or would I only end up having hardware that is even less utilized?
Thank you!
