For the purpose of Octane it makes almost no difference. In fact it makes almost no difference for practically anything. So stick the board that you are going to use to drive your screens in the primary slot and the other card in the secondary.

Presumably your other card only has 1GB of ram? Octane has to have 2 cards with identical memory. So if your other card does only have 1GB then I'm afraid that 1GB is all you will be able to use.


Ah yes, just seen your other screen dump. So yes your other card has 1GB of ram. If you want to use 2GB then you will have to disable the other card from Octane.
