GPU vs CPU

I'm trying to render a complex scene, as expected it's taking forever.

CPU (ryzen 5 3600 6-core) is at 100%, RAM is at 68% used.

GPU (GTX 1660 Super) is running at 3% of the GPU, but 100% of the GPU RAM.

Is the scene too big for the GPU to even process, so it's passing along to the cpu?

    Task Manager is not, be default, a reliable indicator of GPU usage - however, given the limits of the 1660 Super and the 100% CPU usage it is likely that the render has dropped to CPU (I have a 1660 Super and it can't really handle even quite simple scenes without coaxing - fortuantely it's my display GPU and I have a better one for rendering).
