Hi guys.
I upgraded my 2017 5K iMac (3,5GHz i5 CPU) with two 16GB Crucial RAM sticks (they are compatible with my iMac model).
I now have a total of 40GB RAM (2x4, 2x16).
Order in the RAM slots: 4, 16, 4, 16
I did the start up diagnostics test and it came back as OK.
System report shows all sticks are OK.
Now, I use After Effects 2020 and I'm confused as to why I see no speed gain and AE takes up all RAM even when I do really simple tasks in AE, like 2 static solids, 2 texts and a video.
When I preview my composition the playback is choppy frame by frame just as it was when I only had 8GB of RAM.
AE hogs 36GB of RAM after playing 20 seconds of the video.
Maybe the CPU is too weak?
Current Cinebench R20 scores for my i5 CPU = 1592 pts, CPU (Single Core) = 426, MP Ratio = 3,74x
Does anyone know why I see no improvement in AE or why AE hogs all of my RAM despite not really needing it?
Any AE users here?
