Question

VRAM Limit in AE vs System available VRAM

Hi, I'm running into an issue with After Effects trying to render with GPU acceleration on, but it errors on one particular transition frame. It gives me the following error:

 

"GPU Effects Error

After effects is unable to render GPU-enabled effects on this frame becuae the GPU frame size has exceeded the 4GB internal limit."

 

I have a GeForce RTX 3090 and it says I have 24, 576MB of dedicated Video Memory. Is this a program restriction or is there a setting I need to adjust to make use of the full VRAM?

 

AE Version 24.0.3

Windows 11 Pro Version 23H2, OS build 22631.2715

It's a limit in AE. I would expect your comp size or the effects trying to process your comp are needing to use too much memory to process the frame. You may need to pre-render some of the frame with some effects enabled if you can't reduce resolution.
