Hi there,

i bought myself a GTX Titan some days ago. Huge improvement to the old GTX 560 TI i used.
I found out in this forum that it is good to use one card for display/system and one card (TITAN) for octane rendering.

I installed my old 560 in the second pci slot and changed the bios settings so that the 560 is identified as primary gfx in windows 7. so far so good. octane rendering is now faster when only using the TITAN for rendering! Great!

But in other applications i can't choose which gfx should be used. For example in Cinema 4D Cinebench. Cinebench only recognizes the 560 card because it is set as primary card in win7. i tried to change it in the nvidia control panel but nothing happens.

I searched the net for this problem but didn't really find any helpful suggestions.
Does anyone know if it is possible to tell applications manually which gpu to use?

Best,
Marco

P.S.: Octane is great! :D
WIN 7 Prof 64Bit / i5-2500K / 8GB RAM / GeForce GTX Titan / GeForce GTX 560 TI
