Question

After Effects 2023 not detecting Nvidia Graphics Card

I have a Gigabyte AERO 16 with a 3070ti and I know After Effects is more CPU intensive, but I was thinking on getting Trapcode and I read that you could get faster previews if you enabled the GPU, so I figured I might as well. The problem is that After Effects does not appear to recognize the GPU.

 

I checked that I had the latest Drivers and I do (Studio Driver v.527.56) and Blender works fine, so I clicked the Photoshop GPU Compatibility Check out of curiosity and it detected it. So now I'm more confused. Could it be something that's totally obvious that I'm overlooking?

 

Thanks in advance.

The Trapcode plug-ins use their own GPU functions that have nothing to do with AE, so this might be irrelevant. That said of course you still need to tweak your graphics driver to make it appear in AE. There's realyl no way around that and no magic fix. Someone suggested the 517.xx Studio driver should work, so give that a try.

Thanks for the reply, man. I didn't know plugins could have independent GPU functions, so I guess that simplifies things. As of the drivers, I tried a few including the 517 Studio Driver, but AE still wouldn't recognize it, it doesn't really matter now because the update 23.1 of AE this morning fixed it with the latest Nvidia driver.

 

Thanks again, cheers.
