Upscaling 4k (Detail-preserving upscale) CPU or GPU?

Hi, is the GPU used at all for the "detail-preserving upscale" effect? I am using the effect and rendering an 8min file via the media encoder and GPU acceleration is also set, but the CPU is used 100% and the GPU runs at 5-10%. Takes about 2 hours...

CPU: 5800x
GPU: RTX4080

1) Is it normal for the effect to use the CPU?
2) Are there any alternative upscaling methods that can be done via the GPU?

Have you checked the setting of redering in After Effects?

 

Compostion menu > Compostion Settings > 3D Renderer tab > Renderer:

File menu > Project Settings > Video Rendering and Effects tab > Use:

Answer

1) There is nothing here that I could adjust.

2) "Cuda" is activated here

 

Could you render the effect via the GPU?
