After effects not using gpu

Would you try to use the proxy setting to control the load balance? You also check the task manager.

Hey ​@narendra_3404 could you finally fix this problem? I’m experiencing something similar

Getting the same constantly, over different projects. I'm woking on a 5090 RTX on my pc
I also have a macbook pro m2 but there's no issue.

not sure if this is related to your issue, but you have a lot of png files in your comp that are very taxing for your system to render, try converting them to psds and see if it improves performance.

Hi @narendra_3404,

That error implies that you're running out of GPU memory, which is why AE is falling back to CPU. Your GPU only contains 8 GB of VRAM, so you likely need to reduce the number of GPU heavy effects your comp has. If this is indeed the problem, only a GPU with more VRAM would let you render your current comp as-is without disabling more effects.

You can open your Task Manager to look at GPU usage to see if it is bottlenecking on VRAM.

Hi Narendra,

Thanks for writing in. Are you getting this issue in multiple projects or a particular one? Which effects are you using? Please ensure your GPU is updated to the latest version. Do not rely on Windows to update the driver. I'd suggest doing it from the manufacturer's website.

Let me know how it goes. Moving this thread from Bugs to Discussions for troubleshooting.
