A simple question, i hope
How i can know, which is the fastest GPU i have installed?
Which the fastest one is, i know it, but how can identify a program they?
I mean, with which parameter i can test it?
Should i first look the compute capability, higher then newer... then the number of processors... then the number of Cores and then the clock rate?
Would give me this strategy the fastest one?

the number of cores will probably be your best bet.

gpu-z is good for this, though there are many other similar tools.

Right, but i can´t write a program which starts gpu-z and looks what is the fastes one
With the cuda sdk i can read the values which i want...

just look in the device manager ?
octane uses the fastest non-primary adapter by default. however this depends on which one the monitor is connected.

I can look in this, a programm can´t that
Nice that Octane uses the fastest non primary... make sense for more then 2 cards.
But for gamers, which have her fastest as primary, the slowest is then selected.
For these guys it gives the option to choose it manualy, i know
The question was only for a idea from me...

don't waste too mucht time on it.
2.3 will have a config file and retain this setting.

No problem, this subject is finished for me
Now i have other problems.
eg. to write a tga and link that to a uv of a self generated mesh
