Hey,
so After Effects is not performing very well on my PC. Sometimes its so bad that my PC Frezzes and i have to power reset it. I ran some checks and the Problem is that when After Effects is open my VRAM Usage Jumps from 300 mb in use to 7,8 GB in use. I check and it looks like After Effects is using almost all of my VRAM on my GPU. That causes the System to Frezze.
PC Specs
CPU : Ryzen 7 2700x
AIO : Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX 360MM
GPU : RTX 3070 Gaming OC
RAM : Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB 3200MHz
Here are to Screenshots of the Problem
Without After Effts
I dont know why After Effects does that and it only happens when i render the Project with my GPU, the second problem it that it doesnt even peform good. When i render with the Software encoder its smoother then with my GPU. Sometimes even effects dont render with my GPU and i had a problem with a Project where i coudnt render it using my GPU because it Media encoder either failed or got stuck at a Frame.
Thanks for reading this and for any Help
(English is not my first language so pls dont just say that its bad i know)
@Olivier5EB7 I might have found a solution for you problem, my issue was resolved when I downgrade my NVIDIA drivers to this version https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/175403/en-us
I hope that helps you as well 😉

Hey Olivier, try to go in your After Effects preferences and click Enable Mercury Transit in the Video Preview section.
It worked for me.

Hi Mathieu,
I dont think it worked for me. I turned it on and the VRAM Usage didnt drop
But thanks for your Help.

It actually didn't. I thought it did for a bot, but no luck...

Your system is imbalanced - too many cores but too little RAM - GPU is good on its own. Also, AE looks at the required calculations it needs and some effects and transforms can be performed on either the GPU or CPU. With such an imbalanced system, you will have a core or thread with too little memory to do heavy-compute stuff without having to utilize the harddisk as cache and this will likely be done very often. I suggest you invest in more RAM - ideally 2GB-4GB RAM per thread is desired. HTH.

What has my RAM with the VRAM of my GPU to do?
