Question

How to run GTX1060 in After Effects CC 2015.3?

I greet you, dear users and developers of Adobe products!

I decided to study the program After Effects.

Especially for working with the program, I bought a video card GTX 1060 6GB.

It has high performance and low price.

With dismay, I discovered that this GPU is not used by the program After Effects CC 2015.3!

Please help me set up to run this video card to work with the program!

graphics cards cannot be used with any 2d and 3d image software,

That statement is absolutely false garbage.  The poster does not know what they're talking about (sorry Velope but it's true).   However, AE in particular really does not use the GPU for much and there's no "fix" like you're asking for.   But Media Encoder does have some GPU accelerated rendering so you can always send your projects directly there if AE is too slow for you.    The fact that you specifically bought a GTX 1080 for use in After Effects does not have to be a total waste though.  Let it serve as a valuable lesson:  When you're buying software or hardware, especially specifically for each other, do your research first.  A quick Google search asking if the gtx1080 was compatible with after effects probably would have told you that After Effects really does not use GPU's.  Live & learn.

    After Effects System Requirements for Mac OS and Windows

    example, eg GTX 760 runs and uses GPU acceleration, and GTX 1060 is not working?

    Yesterday I installed a version of the AE 2014, it is the same situation.

    I also tried to use a template 3D elements. In both versions, the video card is not touched.

    Sorry for my bad english. I am using a translator.

    Yes, I live and study.

    Maybe I'm wrong to express his thoughts!

    By the way Media Encoder also not uses the GPU.

    Of this I had a card GTX 680, and the speed was high, with the use of the card.

    So what I'm saying, if I'm not mistaken is called, "preview, raytracing".

    I guess I better expressed if the picture show!

    Questions are simple. How to speed up the work while creating a product? As usnorit work during the export of the product? ! ! !

    The system requirements page for GPU acceleration you are looking at is in reference to the ray-traced renderer only. The ray-traced renderer was a way to create 3d geometry in After Effects. It is considered a dead feature. The AE team is not developing it any more. See this page. (We have a more powerful way to do 3d in AE now.)

    Other than the ray-traced renderer, AE doesn't use the GPU for much, as Gutter-Fish says. See this blog post for a more official word on the matter. Now, since that blog post was written, the After Effects team did introduce some more GPU acceleration to After Effects. They added GPU acceleration for three effects: Sharpen, Lumetri, and the new Gaussian Blur.

    graphics cards cannot be used with any 2d and 3d image software, it souly relies on your processor, you can get external rendering software such as octane which uses a gpu, but unless you are doing really complex 3d modeling or rendering hyper realistic environments then i would say gpu rendering is not needed.
