# After Effects Set GPU Acceleration Action

The After Effects Set GPU Acceleration Action node configures GPU acceleration in After Effects. The acceleration type must be manually selected to match the client's operating system, as autodetection is not available.

For more detailed information, please refer to the official Adobe documentation.

Available options include:

* CUDA
* METAL
* OPENCL
* SOFTWARE
