Why does cycles not idle CPU during render on GPU?
Hi, Cycles does not idle CPU during render on GPU. There was a patch included in Blender but it was reverted, was not working on some older GPU, iirc. I cant find it at moment. I ask @brecht some days ago and it is on his todo list but not high priority. No idea why it work better with Xeon CPU.
Can you use GPU and CPU in Blender?
Can you please add your OS and Blender version. Blender 2.92 provide GPU+CPU for Optix cards, too. Iirc your GTX 1660Ti can use Optix features and may you have to disable CPU there. Blender should not crash anyway, if you can reproduce it it is may time to file a bug report.

How big of a computer do I need to run Blender?
Microsoft’s requirements to run WIndows 10 are: 1 gigabyte (GB) (for the 32-bit version) or 2 GB ( for the 64-bit version) To deal with scenes that are larger than your available computing power consider using a render farm or try to get access to more powerful computers.
Is it possible to render 3 render layers simultaneously in Blender?
You have 3 different render layers that you want to render simultaneously. Blender has to cache the information of every layer separately and keep it available for compositing. A workaround is to render each of the layers separately, save it as an EXR file and combine them later in the compositor or other compositing app.
