Thanks all, yes GTX 1079 aka GEFORCE GTX 1070.

Appreciate the input. I thought several plugins now take advantage of of GPU and was anticipating quicker renders.

You mean GTX 1070? Well, to be honest, if you only use AE right now - not a ton, but it's changing. Also depends which version of AE you're on. There are now a fairly good amount of effects in CC2018 that are GPU-accelerated, such as transforms and motion blur, but fewer and fewer if you're on older versions. However if you use Premiere you should see a fairly significant boost to any function that uses Mercury playback engine, such as...video playback. Which is great! If you use any 3D apps or GPU based renderers like Octane or Redshift, you'll notice an even more significant difference. 

Generally though, AE development is heading towards putting more load on GPU instead of multi-threading, and personal feelings aside, I think it's generally a good thing, and your upgrade was worthwhile.

Hello all, 

For some of the smart folks on this, I just upgraded from a GE Force 780 to a GE 1070.  Went in easy enough, thank god but my question is, where should I see the most improvement while using AE, etc?

Just trying to see what my money has bought me here.  

Appreciate it.
