Any idea how I can solve the issue since it's interrrupting my workflow.

GPU is RTX2080 Max-Q and my renders are not that complicated but rather basic.

I figured it out. This solved my issue.

 

Set GPU Preferences in Windows Settings
Windows 11 lets you specify which GPU an application should use:

1-Open Settings (Press Win + I).
2-Go to System > Display > Graphics.
3-Scroll down and click Browse under "Add an app."
4-Locate After Effects by navigating to its installation folder, typically:
5-C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 2025\AfterFX.exe
6-After adding the app, click Options next to it.
7-Select High performance (your dedicated GPU should be listed) and click Save.

That's not ideal. Does it happen every time? Have you tested with a different HDMI cable to make sure it's not the cable that's causing this? Also, please make sure that the GPU driver is updated to the latest.


Thanks,
