After Effect stutters. Error: "Playing from RAM... (NOT realtime)"

Hello
When working in After Effects, the program cannot keep up with image caching, the following message appears: "playing from ram ..... (NOT realtime) as in the attached screenshot. When I check the load on the processor, RAM and graphics card, none of them is loaded 100% and has a large margin. The image jams occur whenever I do something more complicated in the program, such as when I process a recording on greenscreen using any plug-in for green screen keying, or when I apply several animations at the same time. I provide the parameters of my computer : :
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700K CPU 3.60GHz
RAM: DDR4 64 GB 3600 MHz CL 14 15 15 35 G.Skill Ripjaws V
System: Windows 10 64-bit
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060
Hard drive: SSD
Software: After Effects 2023

Is this computer simply too weak to work in After Effects? If so, I'm ready to buy a new computer. I would like to ask for information on what parameters the computer should have so that it does not jam when working in Afret Effects, e.g. when processing video on a green screen using keying. I would be very grateful if you could let me know what PC you are working on if you don't have this type of problem.
