eGPU (External Graphics) Support

[am2082]

The ability for After Effects to see and use an eGPU unit to take advantage of more GPU power.

[Rhys Rabaiotti]

Adobe really need to get cracking, they are falling behind in so many areas

[keitha90068662]

Please get this going, Adobe! What is the holdup! eGPU support now, please!

[robertd69306378]

It's a graphics application. It's intensive. It needs to have eGPU support

[Adrian.Depropertis]

upvote- especially when c4d lite is included and even in conjunction with use of 3d modeling as a compositing tool, After Effects does fall behind in playback scrub and rendering in real time and using the media encoder. Having an Egpu is a huge investment and the fact that premiere supports it but not after effects isn't great guys. Please support EGPU in your next update.

c'mon guys!

Adobe, please speed up After Effects. Make it take advantage of eGPUs.

hello adobe, Please help with this support. I would love to utilise my new egpu. Ever since I was a little boy I always wished to have a proper graphics card to edit cool videos on to.... however I only now realise that egpu is not supported 😞 I am very sad and I am very hopeful that you will do the needful for after effects. Please please please fix this. its 2020.

This should be a maximum level requirement - I'm doing video tutorials and keying and skin grading are mission critical. I have a razor X eGPU apparently idling!

[mikeh4]

Hi y'all!

Try "HEVC (H.262)" encoding format and "Hardware encoding" as well.
Now eGPU works at least at 35-45%

Also make sure you tick both checkboxes "Prefer External GPU" in AE and ME (Get info).

macOS Catalina 10.15.4
Razer Core X Chroma: Radeon RX Vega 64 8GB
After Effects 17.0.5.
Media Encoder 14.0.4

Allowing AE users on Mac to access full capabilities of an eGPU to speed up productivity would be INSANELY helpful. Thank you.

[Floris_D]

YES PLEASE!

[Warren Heaton]

Wish I could vote twice. 🙂

[AI Stalling]

Yes! Please add "viagra" for AE via eGPU 🙏🏻

[rexmortus]

We really gotta get this ASAP, it would make such a huge difference to so many of us!!!!

[sarahbaiera]

This is absolutely insane to me that this isn't already a feature...how...

[AI Stalling]

@admin –How many votes does a feature require to be taken into consideration and move into next phase?

[daniel_martinez]

come on!

[daniel_martinez]

Oh my god this is since 2018 so RIP to use my egpu

Hello,

I have a MackBook Pro (2018 i9, 32M,  1TB SSD) and a BlackMagic eGPU (560 Radeon), connected through TB3, and I can tell you: After Effects ignores all of it. The AE is eGPU enabled, the RAM shared is 27GB and the scratch disk (SSD) has 600GB. However, all of these doesn't matter for the app, specially when there are audio tracks or short footage clips along the timeline. 

It is very disappointing. What is it happening here?

[Ultrasounddk]

I can not use my eGPU AMD Radion Pro WX7100 in After Effect 2020?. It is not showing up?? I use Macbook Pro.
Any suggestions on how to?

[nathanb73638423]

There isn't a 27" iMac, with an Adobe supported GPU, since 2017. The necessity for an eGPU is real, otherwise there isn't a single current iMac option for Creative Cloud.

I just purchased a bunch of top of the line 2020 iMac with the Radeon 5700XT and After Effects is flickering all over the place and Illustrator is constantly giving me GPU error messages.

[Cone911]

Come on Adobe Team! You got this!

[ryand50124526]

Really detrimental to workflows when only a fraction of your eGPU/GPU is being used by AE. PLEASE add support for eGPU's! OSX users are depending on this!

[jonathanr51271166]

eGPU! eGPU! eGPU!
