I got a nvidia GTX1070 video card recently. Then I tried to turn on GPU acceleration in AE. But when turning on after effects, it has error Ray-traced 3D: Initial shader complie failed. I have recent version of AE and graphic driver. How can I use my video card in after effects?

    You can't. That's the long and short of it. Pascal cards use different CUDA libraries that never existed when CS6 was still being actively developed.

    Then which version of AE supports Pascal cards?

    Essentially none, since the Raytracer is deprecated and even in the CC 2017 any such support is labeled as experimental. It's simply dead technology nobody bothers with any longer, especially now that the Cinema 4D renderer is the new kid in town.
