    Welcome to the community, Sergio.

    4GB of GPU memory is required to use Advanced 3D renderer. Check out the After Effects system requirements. If your computer already has 4GB GPU memory, try updating your GPU driver.

    Hope it helps.

    Hi,

    I have the same problem currently in my laptop after recent updates of After Effects, memory was never a problem few days ago but this recent pop-up is annoying, this is my GPU Information:

    Draft 3D: Not Available (inadequate VRAM or graphics driver)
    Texture Memory: 0.00 MB

    Vendor: Intel
    Device: Intel(R) UHD Graphics
    Version: 3.000000 (2.0 or later required)
    Total Memory: 6.31 GB (2 GB or greater required)

     

    So I can't figure out the actual problem, what needs to be done here?

     

    Regards,

    Haris Saeed

    I started having the same issue today just out of nowhere. Even this morning I was working in AE and I didn't get the message. After I reopened AE it just appeared. I have 12 gb of GPU, the drivers are up to date and I followed both links to set the high performance graphic card as default for after effects. Still doesn't work.  Does someone know what to do?

      Can you go to Edit > After Effects Preferences > Previews and click on GPU Information? It'll let you know which GPU After Effects is using? If it uses the integrated GPU, you might need to disable it from the BIOS setup so that After Effects can use the Nvidia GPU.

      Let us know.

       

      Thanks,

          I have already updated my GPU drivers and I believe to have enough GPU memory. Do you have any recommendations on what I could do? 

          Here is the full context: 
          * GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti.
          * I have installed the Nvidia Pilot Studio and Game Ready Pilot.

          * I am running version 24.1.0 (Build 78)

          Do you have another GPU installed? Probably a GPU that's integrated with the processor? You can find that out by going to Windows Device Manager > Display adapters. If there are 2 GPUs, go to After Effects > Edit > Preferences > Preview > GPU Information. It'll let you which GPU After Effects is using. Share a screenshot.

          If After Effects is using a low-powered GPU, try changing that. Here are 2 guides that can help:

          In any case, I'd recommend installing the Studio driver as they are optimized for apps like After Effects.

          Let us know how it goes.
