Reaching 100% of that shouldn't crash unless of a bug or having multiple independant tasks fighting for the same resource (like two Blender open, or Blender + a game, ... One could "lose" the battle, and the driver kill it because it took too much time to answer because of waiting its turn for computing), but otherwise it should slow down the computing. Same for VRAM, it should either cancel the task with an error in older Blender version, or overflow in your system RAM at the cost of speed. | |

I know that it should take at least something but it shouldn't be using all of my gpu memory to render a cube and a light. | |

As long as you are rendering samples, the GPU will use whatever computing power it can to calculate them. For the VRAM, not sure how you can tell how much is too much for the startup scene. Even an empty scene will take "something". | |
