Hi everyone, I have a rendering problem with After Effects regarding the GPU, does anyone know how to disable the processor's integrated GPU and use the dedicated GPU, I also tried to disable the integrated CPU from the BIOS but nothing continues to use that and I also tried to change settings on AE

      Hi,

      I did a search of internal documentation that may be of assistance.

      Disable Integrated Graphics in BIOS:

      • Access your BIOS settings during system startup.
      • Look for settings related to integrated graphics and disable them. This might be under "Advanced" or "Chipset" settings.
      • Save and exit the BIOS.


      Adjust Graphics Settings in Windows:

      • Right-click on your desktop and select "Display settings".
      • Scroll down and click on "Graphics settings".
      • Browse and add After Effects to the list of applications.
      • Select After Effects and click on "Options".
      • Choose "High performance" to ensure it uses the dedicated GPU.

       

      Update and Configure NVIDIA Control Panel:

      • Open the NVIDIA Control Panel.
      • Go to "Manage 3D settings".
      • Under the "Program Settings" tab, add After Effects.
      • Set the preferred graphics processor to "High-performance NVIDIA processor".

       

      Check After Effects Settings:

      • Open After Effects and go to "File" > "Project Settings".
      • Under the "Video Rendering and Effects" tab, select "Mercury GPU Acceleration (CUDA)" if you have an NVIDIA GPU.

       

      Let me know if anything here works for you.

       

      Thanks,
      Kevin
