Question

AfterEffects not using my GPU Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060

Hi Dear Community,

 

I'm not sure if I'm using After Effects right or not !

I think it should use GPU at it maximum. it seems like it not using anything but 100% from CPU.

 

GPU : Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060

CPU : Intel i5 - 10400F

 

PC lags and freezes when rendering a video.. Can you help please !!

You make sure that  your PC chooses RTX 4060 and you confirm it on Nvidia control panel.

Thanks for reaching out.

Is it happening in all the projects? Which GPU effects are you using? After Effects will use the GPU when GPU-accelerated effects are used in the project. You can identify the GPU-accelerated effects by this icon right before the name of the effect (screenshot). If it still doesn't work, updating the GPU driver should be the first step.


Thanks,
Nishu

Ok, I've make a new blank project with 1 footage and used GPU effects and YES it works great.

 

but most of templates on the Internet like ( Envato AfterEffects Templates ) are very bad in this environment !

do you know how to fix that ?
