Don't rendering with GPU GTX 980

[siknoidas]

Hello,

My preview is very low and slowly. And rendering don't using GPU at all, just CPU.

Can you say, what i need to do, to fix it? Can't find any info on internet.

My couple settings:

Two files with name inside GeForce GTX 980

cuda_supported_cards.txt

raytracer_supported_cards.txt

Thank you guys in advance, who can help me with it. Version CC 2018.

Regards.

Well, you could just be using a feature or effect that doesn't use GPU at all and then the whole shebang reverts to CPU-only rendering?!  It could be perfectly normal and logical. Impossible to say.You have not provided any actual info about the project.

Thanks for respond. What actual info about the project you need?

I don't think CPU is best option for AE, because preview is slow and bad quality. In preview is 8fps.

To answer you we need more info about your project. What exactly you are doing:
- do you use a video footahe - if yes what resolution, what codec and format
- do you use graphics/images/photos - if yes - what resolution are they
- what are your workstation specification (ram, cpu, gpu, hdd/ssd)
- what is the resolution of your composition
That will hel pus determine if it is even possible for you to work faster in AE using what you have in the way that you using it.
Then we need to know what effects/plugins and or presets you are using on those leyers - that will tell us if they are being supported by GPU rendering or not.

But you have to remember that AE is not a realtime playback editing tool. So for better preview experience with AE you should read more about ram previewing etc. Preview without rendering in After Effects

Video format full HD, codec 264 quick time.

I am working with footage from videohive. Tried maybe 3-4 of them, and i don't happy with working speed at all. My old dell xps 17 loptop (8years old) was about same preview speed.

16gb RAM

512gb m.2 960 EVO samsung

AMD ryzen 5 1600

gtx 980

Thanks for link and respond, i will check.

Trying with 265 codec. But it's showing preview is software not hardware, maybe here is problem?

It is normal how looking moving parts ~1-2 sec.

I thinked i am out of RAM. But now i have total 16 + 32 GB of ram. DDR4. Still everything same.

I need upgrade GPU or CPU? Thank you.
