Hi, I recently added a second GPU, GTX 1070 under my current 1080, Im just wondering if it makes a difference performance/rendering speed which card I use for the monitors? Any other tips on how to get the most out of a second card appreciated!

Hi Smyrkl,
you should connect your GTXs as you motherboard requires (I can suppose 1070 in PCI slot 1) then connect monitors to 1070.
If you want use 1080 and 1070 to render, check priority option in device panel 1070.
