Specs for Recommended levels of performance in Adobe After Effects CC 2019
Most software developers publish system requirements, and while they're accurate, they can be difficult to interpret; not everyone's comfortable with the jargon employed and older components are often referred to long after they've left the market.
Here are current specs for pre-built machines capable of handling Adobe After Effects CC 2019.
| for Recommended performances | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Components | Minimum | Typical | |
| Processor (a.k.a. CPU) |
Intel Core i7-9750H or better
Intel Core i9-10980HK |
Intel Core i9-10900F
|
Alternative CPU Options |
| Video Card (a.k.a. GPU |
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 or better

Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070

Sadly, there are also no predefined standards for performance; some developers have very high standards while others can be a bit optimistic so your mileage may vary.
Ready-to-Order Systems Meeting these Specs Prices range from ∼ US$2020 to US$4610, accessories included.
The following Systems meet the system requirements set by Adobe After Effects CC 2019's developers. There are no performance standards defining how well a recommended system should perform (some developers overestimate them, others can be a bit optimistic), but I would expect those systems to handle anything easily but the most painstakingly complex tasks.
