After Effects very slow

gpugraphicsmemory

This isn't the kind of slow when I get the pinwheel, this is slow like previews are INSANELY slow. The problem with this is that Final Cut Pro X works perfectly fine, however After Effects does not. The settings are set so After Effects can have up to 6 GB of RAM. Here is my graphics card info:

  Chipset Model:    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX
  Type: GPU
  Bus:  PCIe
  PCIe Lane Width:  x16
  VRAM (Total): 1024 MB
  Vendor:   NVIDIA (0x10de)
  Device ID:    0x11a2
  Revision ID:  0x00a2
  ROM Revision: 3707
  Metal:    Supported

Please help!
