How do I know which card my display is on?

[pixerati2]

This is probably a stupid question, but I've never figured out how to tell which of the five graphics cards in my system is being used to drive the monitors. I want to know so that I can remove it from render duty and keep the GUI responsive.

Is there some indicator in Octane that tells me which card to deselect in the CUDA settings?

You can select them all at first, and then deselect a card -one by one- to see which one is for the OS. And keep renderpriority off for all cards when you do. That should do it I think

I find this annoying too, I hope they make some kind of monitor icon if they see a GPU does not have any monitors attached. But I'm not sure they can access this in the code...

+1 especially when dealing with dual gpus
