Calculate AE bottleneck
Hi all,
I built a PC a while back for rendering out timelapse files. Essentially using Adobe after effects to convert camera RAW images, to high res videos.
I have a similarly specced pc to a friend, yet his renders 10-20x faster. So, I’m trying to figure out where the weak link is.
i7-5820K 3.30GHz
Gigabyte GA-X99-UD4
MX100 256GB
Palit GeForce GTX970
32GB Crucial 2133MHz CL15-15-15 DDR4
Multiple drives in RAID 10When I render, my CPU usage goes to 100% on all cores, and the RAM usage is also maxed out.
I have tried rendering files from ssd->ssd, and hdd->hdd, and the speeds are the same. This makes me think it must be a CPU or RAM bottleneck.
I have multicore processing turned on for all 12 cores, with 2GB of ram being assigned per core.
Any ideas how I can figure it out ?
Cheers

Fewer cores with more RAM each will probably help your render times, as will a healthy amount of reserved RAM for other applications. Forcing lots of processes to work really inefficiently is not as fast as letting fewer processes fly.
