Rendering not using GPU at all in CC 2021

Hi,

 

This is my system:

 

1TB SSD for software

500GB SSD for scratch

500GB SSD for project file

 

AMD Ryzen 7 3700x 8-Core Processor

64GB RAM

GeForce RTX 2070 Super

 

I have the option to use CUDA and even hardware acceleration when rendering, but i noticed that during rendering, my GPU is at 0% while my CPU is at 100%. Is there any setting i am missing? as i am taking close to 10-15 mins to render a 45s to 1 min video clip with effects on(4-5 adjustment layers at the most).

In After Effects CC 2021 i have problem even previewing my work at quarter resolution. so it really crashes my workflow, to my understanding the PC shld be more than enough to work with PP/AE

 

Would appreciate any help i can get !

Hi,

One thing is very important to understand. Premiere Pro is mainly CPU based. the GPU will be used in certain circumstances, when using Lumetri FX, some GPU accelerated FX, the hardware h264 Nvidia encoding...but most of the time, CPU is used.

But i heard exporting uses GPU acceleration so my GPU should be used right? not very sure about it but GPU was at 0%, even opening chrome itself uses 2-4% of my GPU so im unsure if i didnt do anythign right with my GPU but recently an adobe help remote controlled my PC to help with the settings but it didnt help

You could try to update the GPU driver. 


yupp everything is updated to the latest an adobe support helped but it didnt fix anything so was hoping to get some insights from the community

What versions of Ae and Pr are you using? What codec is your footage? What codec are you exporting to? What effects are you using? We need more info to help you.
