Body: <p><strong>System Spec:</strong></p>
  <pre><code>16 core 3950x
  Nvidia rtx 3080
  64gb of ram
  1tb nvme
  2tb ssd
  4tb hdd
  </code></pre>
  <p><strong>Software</strong></p>
  <pre><code>AfterEffects - v17.5.1 (build 47)
  MediaEncoder - v14.7 (build 17)
  </code></pre>
  <p><strong>Problem:</strong></p>
  <p>So I'm outputting a fairly complex render at 1080p 30fps and the media encoder is only using 3% of the CPU and 6% of the GPU. I have always had issues with rendering but this new pc I have just bought should be rendering much faster than the old setup but they are basically identical. Can someone explain if there is something I can do to increase the performance or explain why the hell this shit is like this?</p>

  **System Spec:**
  
  ```
  16 core 3950x
  Nvidia rtx 3080
  64gb of ram
  1tb nvme
  2tb ssd
  4tb hdd

  **Software**
  
  ```
  AfterEffects - v17.5.1 (build 47)
  MediaEncoder - v14.7 (build 17)
  
  ```
  
  **Problem:**
  
  So I'm outputting a fairly complex render at 1080p 30fps and the media encoder is only using 3% of the CPU and 6% of the GPU. I have always had issues with rendering but this new pc I have just bought should be rendering much faster than the old setup but they are basically identical. Can someone explain if there is something I can do to increase the performance or explain why the hell this shit is like this?
