Based on the information of rendering anomalies and crashing, I suspected the memory management ie buffering to be the issue. I would not be surprised if the 2GB cards don’t show the problem versus the 3GB and higher cards. The caching models would be different.

If you use Apple then your at the mercy of Apple’s R&D time frames and communication or lack there of to partners. 10.9.3 had major changes to Open CL which broke applications that used it and not developed by Apple. This is going to be an ongoing problem long term because Apple doesn’t give the partners the mobility, communication, or R&D flexibility with OSX to resolve these issues themselves. Cloud based R&D development cycles and time frames are far to fast for Apple’s model and far more suited for Microsoft’s model. Adobe is working fine on Windows along with CUDA or Open CL.

Change the 4770K to the 4790K. Much easier to clock the 4790K up. Change the Asus Z97m to the Pro board. That is a much better board and option to add the Thunderbolt EX card to it. I would also recommend swapping the Evo for the Crucial M550 drive. The M550 has far better performance and longer MLC life span ie reliability. The rest looks fine for that budget other than I would recommend the 760GTX 4Gb over the 770GTX 2GB card. That system wont be able to push a 770GTX anyway and better to have the 4GB vram on a card that will be used to it’s capability.

Check your ram usage with task manager. Don’t rely on AE’s reading. That does not include all of the ram AE uses. I believe that is limited to the player usage or the engine alone.

What applications are you using? Yes Adobe has Open CL support for the GPU’s on the nMPro however Nvidia cards still perform better with Adobe. Ray Tracer in AE is Nvidia only but only accelerates certain processes. Most of the time it’s not used by many. 10.9.3 currently is showing some issues with Adobe and the Open CL acceleration on the nMPro so if you insist on continuing on OSX, you may want to wait on updates to resolve those issues.

Codecs are mathematical algorithms that process data and often compress it. The greater the compression, the more complex the algorithm. This directly correlates to the threading capability of the codecs most of the time. Mpeg based codecs especially mp4/avc have very complex algorithms to process along with partial frame data that has to be anticipated. This makes prediction much more difficult which limits threading capability. In other words the harder it is for the Player to predict data in codecs the harder it is for the application designers to multithread that processing. Then on top of this the players themselves have different levels of efficiency in threading/processing codecs/formats. For example Quicktime on OSX threads PNG great in AE. However Quicktime on Windows with AE does not. This means there are differences in the format library files. This directly correlates to the player and processing efficiency of that version.

Try AVI lossless or download Lagarith and try that under AVI. I know PNG does not thread well at all right now in AE on Windows. I wouldn’t be surprised if what your using doesn’t as well. Some codecs don’t thread as well as others. As a rule of thumb though, use AVI based codecs when possible on Windows with AE. Quicktime codecs that thread better or well include Pro Res, DNxHD, MP4, and I believe Jpeg 2000 though that encoding always takes a while. I believe Tiff and the other still based formats thread well. Tried most of them but cant remember if I tried all the others besides PNG.

What codec/format are you exporting to? Is this Windows or OSX?

CC supports XAVC but not CS6. You can use a 3rd party utility to convert such as the following:

There are also some free utilities out there.
