I am new to Toms hardware. I have always found Toms hardware very helpful, so I decided to make an account Here is my problem; I am using After effects to make movies and when I playback a movie clip the CPU usage is around 60% and when exporting a file, the CPU usage goes up to 90-100%. After effects might be a CPU intensive program, but what seems odd to me, is that my GPU during render and playback never goes above 20% usage. I would like to see my GPU working hard to render and playback files. During playback I am getting 25-30FPS with no effects added to the clip, with effects added, the frame rate drops to 11-17FPS. I have the GPU set to render Ray-tracing and I have updated all drivers/software. So, I am curious why my GPU is barley working and I would like to see the GPU put to use to improve frame rates. Thanks for help.

My specs:
Wndows 7 64 bit
GTX760 4gigs
8 gigs RAM
