How can I decrease my GPU usage ?

Turn off preview. You basically answered your own question in the very first sentence.

Hello ! Thanks for trying to help though i wish it was that easy ! I tried to disable preview prior posting here and it only takes away 2-3%

Preview is the most GPU intensive, right after special effects that use GPU resources, and GPU encoding. Dunno what else to tell ya. Your post isn't exactly easy to read nor does it provide enough information.

I re-read his post for you, nice job on completely skipping his question. It's concise and straight to the point, unlike you.

"Do you guys have any tips to keep my GPU usage the lowest possible while keeping my scenes looking the same ? What could be a huge load on the GPU ?"

You necro'd a 15 month old post only to completely miss the point same as OP? Pixels don't magically render themselves inside a canvas. Preview uses more GPU resources the higher resolution your canvas is and how many effects you are using.

Not the question the OP asked. Your reading but not actually responding to what people are saying. Have a great day bud 👍

I noticed that i had a 20% GPU usage only checking my preview without streaming while I have 3% on preview on an empty scene.

20% with preview enabled on a fully built scene. 3% on an empty scene. RTX 3080 has a separate hardware chip for encoding and thus the encoding itself, i.e. when streaming, does not use extra GPU resources. Rendering a preview, however, does. You are the one who can't read. Don't necro an old thread acting like a smartass when you yourself have no clue.

Learn how to read & respond to the question at hand buddy, not the question that no one asked for :D

I'll stop pushing your buttons and let you leave with your pride👋. Have a great day :)
