We’ve only been able to reproduce it in one scenario, and the hypothesis is that this is related to overscheduled CPUs and switching threads.

We’re doing a lot of work regarding threading in our current massive re-architecture project, and we’re on the lookout for this issue while doing so. So far, in the version under development, we haven’t seen this issue recur.

> because i read after-effects and premier wont get much advantage from graphics card

That is completely untrue about Premiere Pro. Premiere Pro gets a huge benefit from the GPU. After Effects, not much.
