What GPU is my monitor connected to?

Extending on my previous thread on the OctaneRender devices preferences settings I wanted to make sure to have the GPU connected to my monitor running with a lower priority as suggested by bepe (thank you) I did not have any problems before but see this as an opportunity to improve my system´s performance.

In another thread Bepe has asked someone for a screenshot of the NVIDIA control panel to check which GPU is connected to the monitor

Maybe I have found an easier way without leaving C4D, but wanted to recheck with you guys if my assumption is correct:
In order to check which monitor is connected to which GPU wouldn´t it be enough to highlight every GPU in the "OctaneRender devices preferences"? The one with the lowest available VRAM should be the one connected to the monitor(s) correct?

In my case this would be the fourth device and I would not need to search for and open the NVIDIA control panel :P
