PC cant hold it anymore

Ive been trying to finish my new long animation but it seems it is too much for my PC. It keeps crashing due rendering so I cant finish it rn, tho Ive ordered some extra RAM and motherboard(also new CPU thats why new motherboard, CPU will help with renders as well UwU) soooooooooo I really hope it will help >_<

Maybe if anyone using the latest AfterEffects version - do you have RAM issue? Like...When I work I need to restart it every 3-5 minutes or it completely freezes cause eats the all existing memory >_< (pic related, couldnt even make a screenshot lmao)

Cant wait to share my new animation with you! Hope the delay wont take longer than a day or two!!!

Some of the Aliexpress boards are rather decent, especially the Erying boards. I'm testing an i9-11980HK board now with 32GB RAM (might jump it to 64GB).

So you’re asking all of us to donate $2679 right now

Ummm no, but what is 2679 number? I’m intrigued 🤔

When you do the ram upgrade, just as a sanity check, make sure you put identical ram sticks in the paired slots so you can use dual channel mode, it's a small boost but a boost nonetheless... sounds like a fucking awesome animation if it can make your PC 🤯

Uff you are steaming make sure to get 64 matching RAM sticks and that they have good speeds that should fix it

The same thing is happening to my pc but instead of the RAM it’s the GPU temp going up to 204°F

I remember using After Effects and running into RAM problems in the past, and it always helped to use the Purge tool in the settings. I think I'd use Purge > All Memory to really just clear it out and let it rebuild what it needs. There's an article here that explains more: https://www.schoolofmotion.com/blog/after-effects-disk-cache

I'm sure you already do this but something that you can do in the interim to help is clear out the cache on your PC. DM me and Let me know what parts you may need to boost performance (Go for 64 Gigs Ram). Let me know what kind is compatible and I might send you a tip so you can pick it up. Love your work and happy to support!

Need better video cards and CPU like 4 or 6 core. Don’t know about ram memory that 32 G is fine but maybe it too old or weaker

I love this sketch 😂 hope you're doing well eipril and hope this new equipment helps!

32 gigs in the system to begin with?

Sometimes RAM can be helped with a paging file, windows likes to set its own one, but ive seen with apps and databases doing a custom paging file helps the RAM massively. So the calculations would require the paging file to be in MB, to do this its 1024x=mb Example: 1024 X 16GB RAM = 16384mb Then minimum requirement would be 1.5x And maximum would be 3x Example: 1.5x16384=24576mb 3x16384=49152mb So I'd set my paging file as the example above. Hope this helps 😄

Amore Steelwing · August 1, 2023

If there's a cache, you might try clearing that as well, as there may be such a backlog that the RAM just gets eaten up by that. If that didn't work if you already tried that, then more RAM is necessary

I hope this gets fixed.

Eipril's creativity is too much for machines to handle

Heh maybe so.

Trixie Lulamoon · August 1, 2023

I might be mistaken, but I had thought that a GPU handles most of rendering, not the CPU.

Depends on the rendering.
