Adobe After Effects CC and CS6 Render can utilize GPU acceleration for improved performance.
Yes, you can finalize a non-ray-traced composition on the GPU in Adobe After Effects CS6 and CC.
Ray tracing consistently relies on the CPU rather than CUDA. I've attempted to force CUDA, but it still defaults to the CPU. There seems to be a workaround involving editing a text file and adding your card to the compatible list in CC and CS6—please let me know if you discover it.
Open your Adobe support files, locate the "ray traced supported cards" section, and make the necessary changes. I’m certain of it—just know what I’m saying. Regarding Render, not the main composition render, but the final output that encodes the video into .mov, .avi, or .mp4 formats for web upload. Also, clarify that Ray Trace relies on GPU processing, not CPU, based on my experience and testing.
